II. Carefully read the passage and select the correct answer
When individuals consider marriage, they hope to find not just a lover but also a companion in their partner. They seek someone with whom they can share their thoughts, feelings, and fears. In a marriage, we desire a partner who understands our values, preferences, and dislikes.
If two people come from the same country, they likely share familiarity with similar songs, movies, jokes, books, and general life experiences. They essentially have the same cultural background. However, in the case of a western man and a foreign woman, the dynamics are more complex, demanding greater patience and understanding from both partners. While each partner has the chance to explore and learn about the other's culture, traditions, and lifestyle—which can be fascinating—it can also be disheartening if they struggle to connect with each other's interests and emotions. For instance, if you see a beloved artist on TV, someone you grew up with, and your wife doesn’t recognize them at all, it might be disappointing. Remember, your wife experiences a similar situation with your culture. She may not be familiar with your country's songs, actors, or books, and adapting to a completely new environment can be much more challenging for her. To bridge this gap, take the time to learn about her culture, preferences, and traditions. Share your own culture with her, introduce her to your favorite music and movies, and help her understand your background. Patience and time will help both of you navigate these cultural differences.
