1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,680 S1: Shirley writes. Gary, I'm currently dealing with challenges in an 2 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,600 S1: interracial marriage. Can you help? 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,160 S2: You know, the difference you're dealing with is a cultural difference. 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,760 S2: It's not racial difference. But typically people with different races 5 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,320 S2: come out of different cultures or subcultures. These are always 6 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,120 S2: different and they always present challenges. The important thing is 7 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,320 S2: to understand each other's subculture and recognizing that if we're 8 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,800 S2: going to make a good marriage, we've got to learn 9 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,000 S2: how to, first of all, accept the differences and then 10 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,400 S2: learn how to navigate or how to negotiate those differences 11 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,720 S2: so that we find something that's meaningful and works for 12 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,959 S2: the two of us, and then look for ways we 13 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,040 S2: can work together as a team. And hopefully speaking the 14 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,040 S2: five love languages, and particularly their primary language, is going 15 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,080 S2: to help you do that. 16 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,040 S3: This has been a love language.
