I would definitely consider living with someone that I loved in a different country. I would definitely NOT consider ever wearing a niqab or a burqa. out of the question. Other that that " for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people", you will notice that I will always have my own God.

No two people are the same you can learn a lot from different people from different country it doesn't matter where your from or what you've done as long as you love each other that's what really counts..

lol There was an advert here in Oz (obviously Q saw the same one) about people who were either folders or scrunchers. It was a family sitting around a table and each given a serviette. Most of them scrunched it up but one boy folded his neatly. The advert was actually about toilet paper.

I feel that culture and lifestyle do matter, however, you cannot make a decision until you really get to know someone. And that takes time. What matters most is if you are willing to accept one another, because you cannot change anyone to fit your mold.

A flexible, self-confident person interested in other cultures does not cause culture problems. Culture problems are caused by inflexible, narrow-minded people, generally those who THINK they know all about their own culture (rarely true).
So it is frequently the parents of young people who are at fault--they are the ones who force their children to choose between family or lover, and usually the lover wins.

I do not see cultural difference or physical distance as an obstacle, indeed if you approach with an open mind it is a huge benefit. It doubles the quality of your life experiences. Both the man and the lady have something new and interesting and some times exciting to share with each other. If you learn your partners language it is an invaluable skill. You have differences in culture, foods, customs and an entire country to share with your beloved. You can have a home in both countries and share all new experiences with each other. As an example, I live in Australia in the southern hemisphere, my future wife may live in the northern hemisphere so we could change locations with the seasons.

Cultural difference just adds to the journey of getting to know one another I think. Each person benefits from learning something new about a country it's language, customs, foods and history. If the relationship develops into something more then each person would gain a second home or vacation option with the best tour guide. That someone special to explore it all with.

I personally celebrate cultural and belief system differences. I think that learning and discovering are a part of life and is part of that. Differences can be identified and people can agree to disagree with love and respect. Are there differences that may not be able to be overcome? Certainly, but that is true of someone that has grown up next door your whole life and was raised culturally, spiritually and is your exact age. People are people. Your favorite color can be a problem for someone else. It depends on the other persons perception of the subject at hand. If you are open and celebrate the differences, then they will not be a problem. If you are stringent and unopen in your opinion or view of the subject then you remain closed off and even someones hair color can a become an obstacle. It is all a matter of perception and what you are willing to accept about someone else. If a person can stay open and see the differences as a compliment, once they love that person (truly) then those differences just become the spice in their relationship. Personally, if I wanted to spend the rest of my life with someone just like me, I would just stay single LOL Enjoy!

yes it is not a matter in both persons who are loving each other with different kind of cultures, traditions and life styles,
cause with this difference they can learn more about other territories with different ideas and behaviors and most of all some amazing things in different cultures about eating, atmosphere nature and all in general life, cause all belongs to Adam & Eve, but with different languages and traditions.

Differences in culture,tradition,lifestyle and distance shouldn't be the reason for a relationship to not happen. I believe in soulmate. If it were meant to be, in whatever part of the world we live in, we will meet then everything else will not matter anymore.
