Can cross-cultural relationships work?

Smaug（US）

My Chinese wife and I have been married and living together in the US for about 2 months. I think the trick is to always be patient, and always try to understand her and her feelings. It takes a lot of work, sometimes, to do that; and certainly a lot of patience. She says the thing is to understand and respect the cultural differences; learn how to address them. It's easier said than done, sometimes.
