I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a good book dealing with intercultural relationships/marriages.
My husband is Korean and I am British, so obviously our cultures are very different, particularly our communication styles.
I feel like we do pretty well with our kids, we celebrate holidays from both cultures, eat food from both cultures, promote values from both cultures. But between us as a couple, it is sometimes so hard to communicate.
I speak decent Korean, he speaks more or less perfect English. I am studying a lot to improve. But we still struggle to really understand each other - he doesn’t get why I can’t just let things be sometimes, I don’t get why he sweeps stuff under the rug.
We have a good relationship overall but I think we’d really benefit from therapy. Since we can’t afford that (costs almost 200 pounds for a 45 minute session here), I think we’d really benefit from a self help book.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
