The news and victims are saying "they were abused by someone who was thought to be churchy". Just ask them (and the RCC).

How is it arranged when one of the partner has to move to another country and needs a license to work, a place to sleep and SOMEONE to be hired?
Mexican and many others are paying with their lives to live in USA. Colombians are always moving to another place to get more money... How are they solving the money problem which is wide spread now?
It smells like an ad.

I think if it's confirm by God I would, but it has to be confirm like three times... Lol joke the thing is getting married with someone from another culture is hard, mostly is culture wise, but if coming from God and he is in front of us taking control he will make those differences in a positive way.

levi85, God can do the very thing you are asking to couples. While I was in India the church I went to was bursting from the seams of interracial couples! One of my best friends is Filipino and her husband is Indian.
Now... culturally speaking it is no slight matter, especially when the couple's parents are involved and especially if English isn't their first language! Depending on where you come from it can be very difficult. Say you have very traditional parents and you decide to marry a white girl from Canada. Yeah... that's gonna do more than raise some eyebrows! Even if you both decide to do Christ's work somewhere you will still face obstacles from others. Heck... doing Christ's work as a couple of the same race is full of enough obstacles and naysayers as it is!
So I guess the quick answer is: yes, it can work. 100%! Long answer is... what I just said, and that doesn't even scratch the surface! Thankfully we believe in a God who transcends all things, people and countries!

cross-cultural marriages work in some cases, perhaps better than same race/cultural marriages. for example, in our country, the divorce rate is lower for black women + white men, rather than white women + white men. actually, the same study showed that marriage where white women were involved almost always had a higher divorce rate (hopefully, sharing this statistic won't call all the pro-male champions and zealots from their hiding places/caves : D).
while the definition of "cross-cultural" is pretty wide to interpretation, but there are a myriad of factors that are far more important than culture -- and i wouldn't hold that concern any higher than the others, such as the expected predictors of successful marriage, such as communication, compatibility, support, blah blah.
