I have a friend from several years back. I suppose more of an acquaintance really seeing as we never did anything together intentionally. The thing is, she married someone that could not speak English, at all. It was a relationship I never really understood for a variety of reasons.

I have now made new friends and a few of them have relationships with people from another culture. I'm not trying to sound discriminatory by any means, but it is curious to me that someone would choose someone that doesn't understand where you come from and what makes someone who they are.

I wonder if there is something in their belief system about themselves that nobody will ever understand them. Like, it just reinforces that belief about themselves. Do they think that nobody within their culture will accept them for who they are? Do they do it because the culture is "exotic" to them?

I'm not against it, I just know how difficult marriage can be with the same cultural background so why add to the potential risk by marrying someone that is completely outside of your cultural experience? Granted there are religious cultures that cross over vicinity cultures. So, what's that all about?

Just curious.
