I've been married for over 10 years to my arabic husband. Not once have i ever had to walk a step behind him, we usually walk together unless im walking very quickly and he gets left behind!!!

To imply that arabic women dont stand up to their husbands would be so wrong. The women are usually the ones ruling the roost behind closed doors!!!! So wrong to even think that arabic women aren't strong. They are smart, independent and strong.

Not all arabic men are muslims there are plenty that are christians too. So i think that there are plenty of arabic women that arent scared of their husbands taking a 2nd wife. Only some wishing that their husbands could!!!! LOL

In the end your choice comes down to being compatible and able to life together regardless of colour, race or religion.

I actually disagree that the marriage will be tough to start with, but will get easier. I think (and seen enough of) marriage will only get harder with time, when the initial "lovely dovey" period is over, and what the couple will be left with are cultural, social and possibly religious differences. Will a Western woman always be happy to walk a step behind her Arab husband? Will an Arab husband be happy with an outgoing, strong, opinionated woman? Of course I Am not saying this is the case in every case, but very often it is. And even when these marriages don't end in divorce, they don't make the partners happy in the long run.

HEY XENA, MAYBE my comment wat not clear enough. but what i meant was that , the arab women just dont stand up to and opinion of thei husband, some times it looks just too much of tenderness, doest mean that a westen women is not loving.

western women are more challenging on a daily life i guess, they wont let you pass some weakness as easily as say an oriental.

loving to their husbands... thats not fair fefee, I know I am a loving person, and when the right man comes along, I will devote myself to him... but I will retain my identity too....

HEY SALAX , SORRY FOR MISUNDERSTANDING, I THOU U WERE THE POLISH. ANY WAY TAKE MY ADVICE TO YOUR WIFE TO BE.

THE SAME GOES TO YOU AS A MAN. STAY BANGLADESHI. AND MAKE YOUR WIFE KNOWS THAT YOU ARE NOT POLISH BUT MAKE SURE TO RESPECT EACH OTHER CULTURE AND RELIGION.

salax, in my opinion, i would advice you to be very careful!after your marrige with your husband, all will be very great between you and his family, but after the honey moon and all this, then you will start to face all the bshit! and be very srong enought FROM THE BEGINING , that you are not a Bangladeshi and would never wanna be one. make sure you keep your adentity. DO NOT TRY T BE a Bangladeshi woman. let it be very clear to your husband that you have different culture and that you stay polish and be accepted for who u are. the minute you try to wanna be Bangladeshi, you will face problems all throu your marriage life, and may end up in divorce.

IF YOUR HUSBAND WANTED A Bangladeshi then he should marry one. but since he've chosen u, stay who u are.

GOOD LUCK

in my opiion, i think al the loving and tenderness from the arabic women comes from MAYBE being scare of their husbands getting a second wife or divorcing them. i dont think its easy for an arab women to face divorce since the arab social life is so big. and most afraid of finding another husbands. please dont mine my post. i just wonder, why the arab men are so demanding and the women always remain kind and quiet??? just still dont understand.

Myself I am going to marry someone totally different then my culture. Currently facing lot of regection and pressure from family, friends and everyone else but I will not step back. Moreover in every marraige there are obstacles. You have to learn to understand your spouse. No one is born with similar nature. So let me go ahead and I will be happy to tell you guys.

Peace.

personally i agreed with BE. arabic marriage life is always influece by the whole family, which makes a huge difference to the westen marriage. i think thats the main problem in life. also i think arabic women are more loving and tendr to their husbands than westen woman, meanwhile the arabs men are more demanding than the westen men.

maybe iam wrong , so pls throw your opinions.

I have been with a non Arab for the past 3 years, engaged, going to be married in December this year..

Well, it is depends on the person you are with, can he adapt, and can you adapt, there will be sacrifices, some of you must do more than the other.

in this matter there is no better or worse, its just luck whether you find the right guy or not.

you need to know that Many Arab Guys (like my self) are conservative, they like their partner to hide what they have (to a certain limit). we are jealous and but loving.

A person who does not speak out against the wrong is a mute devil.

I prefer arabs, coz my husband is Morrocan ;p

Actually like rania said it`s hard in the beginning, but as time goes by it will be in the right track. Still there are some differences, but if since the beginning u made commitment, i believe everything will go smoothly. And why i chose arab the main reason is because we are same religion, in one thing we are already in the same way

The main difference is in cultures and family orientation. Arabs on the whole tend to be more family oriented and rooted in cultural practices. After marriage the extended family can have a lot of "influence" on family life.

it's hard at the beginning for the couple, but it works out after they've got used to each others' cultures and lifestyles.

i dont really care about nationality, lifestyle and traditions are what matter. when he understand mine and i understand his and we both agree to respect it all then im fine with it.
