MIXED MARRIAGES

MIXED MARRIAGES

The earth we live has gradually initiated to be a global village. Once upon a time, people didn’t use to emigrate from their place. Time after time, with the economic and social constraints, people were compelled to migrate from their home. Immigration has brought some major problems inspite of its benefit. One of the effects of immigration was obviously a cultural conflict; it is called as mixed marriages phenomenon. I cannot say that mixed marriages are adverse. Instead, I would like to mention two side of this issue. Combining of distinct cultures seems to be fascinating for most people. However, it is still considered getting married with a person from same environment should be relevant. It is believed that when a couple gets married families of this couple also get married. It interpret that families always communicate each other. Hence, advocate of non-mixed marriages support to minimize the diversity of cultures.
Despite fact that of opposite reviews, if mixed marriages are managed well, mixed marriages would contribute to couples and families. For instance, When my brother-in low got married with a foreigner, some relatives thought that this marriage could be difficult because of differences of culture. His wife, coming from Russia, was completely different from our country. Her religious, language and culture obviously showed deep distinction in many ways. But, they loved each other and got married. Now, she learned Turkish and our culture but at the same time, she continues living her own culture and religious. He doesn’t ask her change her life style. She works in Turkey. They had a baby who is bilingual. His wife and daughter visit Russia to see their family each year. Her family visits her sometimes. So, cultures interact each other. Occasionally, even a few problems come out due to misunderstanding, all we know that is usual. Maybe, if he had been married with a native, he would have been happy as he is now. I admit, the secrets of happiness of mixed marriage are to recognize and comprehend cultures.
