I live in SOUTH AFRICA, there are now after 1994( Democrarcity) hundreds of married couples between Whites/lndian, which was by law illegal under apartheid. They are very happy, with beautiful children's.
I was actually surprised how similar Indian culture is to Mexican culture. Except for the strict adherence to catholicism and reliance on beef cattle i don't think a Mexican would have many cultural issues.
@@technicalist101 yes theologically. The way elders are treated is similar. The familial emphasis and rights of the eldest son. The eldest son's responsibilities. Unfortunately the expectations of daughters and how they are treated both in their home and husband's home is all very similar.
There are more compromises when individuals marry from different cultures, but it is ok, the time will help to adjust and make the bond stronger. The very bad thing is that when couples have unrealistic expectations and they do not compromise at least a little bit. You seem smart guy, just remember, being an American guy, you have advantages having an Indian woman as wife because such women are family focused and tries to keep the family united.
Look John, first of all I appreciate your frank discussion in respect of your personal life. As an outsider, I can only say is every marriage is a difficult one, unless compromised by both at times. For the security and well being of the child both should discuss and deal with irrespective of cultural differences. I have also witnessed similar situations in other couples but not unleashed for the greater benefit of family.
Totally agree. Not cultural things. Yes expectation, communication and money. My husbsnd is an American and I am in India. We have house in goa. It was special marriage act
I feel happy when I see different faith race of male female tie up.but I utterly hate lovezehad.u know what I mean.. because this bedouin faith and culture enemy of mankind
It depends a lot on how religious she is. Those who are consumed by their religious identities (especially Hinduism in this case) are not easy to deal with.
With learning, tolerance, and love, and interfaith, intercultural, couple can have a successful marriage. I am an Asian Indian American married to a Vietnamese American.
GOD Yes agree god is tge only reason for your bond so keep God in your family ..but remember that religion is a culture way back 2000 year so ur bond is on culture Marriage : Marriage is itself a culture of India..in America no Marriage is a culture unless ur not Christian dependent: Indian came from slavery ruled by British, and english is ruling now, and Hinduism which bring master and servant mentality between Indians and also foreigner and tgat makes them dependent but notbwhat reason u gave for dependent Truth and honest ; This is what needed to bond any colour or culture people..bevtruthful between both ..be Frank and don't hide stuffs
Respected sir and madam good morning 🌄 happy married life with your children and joyful life 💘 God dattatreya bless you both with abondently happiness and prosperity with joyful life
John, your observations on cultural difference are so true & accurate. But you went off the "cultural tolerance" track by saying that India has a big population and therefore, its obvious that, couples sleep with their babies !! Thats really a crude & insensitive way of explaining the practice. I think you have completely failed to understand the psyche of an Indian mother... If you explore, you will find that small Indian families living in houses way bigger than they need. But the Indian couples in their wildest dreams wouldn't think of putting their baby in another room for the entire night ! Again its not about whats wrong and whats right - Its simply Indian baby caring is way different than whats practiced in your culture. (No offence meant)
I was not clear at that part so let me explain what I was trying to say. American parents think it is dangerous to sleep with the child in the same bed because the parent can roll over the child and kill it but India has 1.5 billion people so obviously most children are not killed from there parents rolling over them.
@@JohnInIndia7 Yes, without any offence, it's again Indian Parents don't think what American parents think. If you mean to say what American parents think is right then it's ok, but the parents world over don't think what Americans think. Plz understand that I am no way trying to offend you. Just be a little more sensitive because you are addressing Indians.
@UjjwalChand-sc4tu earlier in the video I mention that these are just cultural differences meaning each culture thinks differently and neither culture is wrong.
@@tradelikechess Well at least you admit it. But you're still wrong anyway. Most of the women I know are perfectly happy with their life partners. Based on what did you actually make that assumption?
Yes you can be happy. You are not the first or last . How ever I would strongly suggest you move out of there to your home country. You will be happier as a couple . With no intrusive family ,friends ,neighbors etc . With their noses in your personal life .

Cultural differences don’t matter much when you have same faith & values. Faith is more important than culture.
I agree! 💯
GOD
Yes agree god is tge only reason for your bond so keep God in your family ..but remember that religion is a culture way back 2000 year so ur bond is on culture
Marriage :
Marriage is itself a culture of India..in America no Marriage is a culture unless ur not Christian
dependent:
Indian came from slavery ruled by British, and english is ruling now, and Hinduism which bring master and servant mentality between Indians and also foreigner and tgat makes them dependent but notbwhat reason u gave for dependent
Truth and honest ;
This is what needed to bond any colour or culture people..bevtruthful between both ..be Frank and don't hide stuffs

Most of indian kids sleep with their parents in same bed.
How could you keep kids in another room?
That sounds scary for me
My Indian wife agrees with you!
Are you a passport bro?
I have a passport....
But are you a passport bro? What do you think about the passport bro movement?
There is no American Culture 😂
This is not true. We have a lot of culture! 😁😊
My son is in the ninth grade n he still sleeps with us... 😢
It seems you want him to sleep in a different bed?
Wanted to see his wife and he didn't even use her name.
