Factors Which Lead to Intercultural Marriage

Hi everyone… Here I am to talk about some of the factors which lead to the intercultural marriage. Amalina had mentioned some before, so I explain other factors which she hasn’t mention, right…
First, since nowadays more people work or study overseas (like the immigration Amalina had said, either permanently or temporarily), the environment or the proximity between colleagues or peers is very much intercultural. People who immigrate usually have an open mind or are willing to accept peers from different cultures. Since they have similar job environment, or religions/beliefs, or affiliations, there are certain aspects which allow them to be comfortable among each other thus bloom a relationship.
Furthermore, the factor would be the background of a person. One could be attracted to another because they have similar backgrounds or maybe because they have completely contrasting backgrounds. It could be either way. It is quite obvious to see that people with similar backgrounds have chemistry among each other right away because they can understand being and living in such culture. However, for some, they find the difference among them very appealing. They are very interested in knowing the partner and his/her culture that he/she decided to be a part of it.
Moreover, physical attraction would be one of the main factors. Certain people have the eagerness to break free from their own culture bound and stereotypes. They say beauty lies on the eyes of the beholder. Some people have the idea of how their partner would look like and they go get them. It’s like, they’re tired of the typical looks in their culture. For example, I am a Malay and I have this tendency to find a blue-eyed man. Statistically, it is very rare for typical Malaysian men (or women) to have blue eyes, right? So, to encounter a man with blue eyes I probably should travel to Europe, for instance. It could be because of heights, or certain looks that one particularly admires.

Among other factors are income and social status lead people to marry from different culture. it might work out or it may not; but the society need to be educated about peoples choices; not to prejudiced.
