“All knowledge of cultural reality, as may be seen, is always knowledge
from particular points of view.”
Max Weber
Learn more about each other's culture and traditions:
- Don't be afraid to ask your partner about their culture, beliefs, and
traditions. Not only will this help you understand them better, but it
will also demonstrate that you genuinely want to learn more about
them.
- Take time to research your partner's country of birth and residence,
native language, customs, and history. You can read books or articles
on these topics or watch movies/shows set in your partner's country.
- Share information about your own culture with your partner. This will
allow you to get to know each other better and find common ground
more easily.
If you make every effort to learn about each other's culture and traditions,
you will gain a better understanding of your partner's outlook on life,
habits, and preferences. This knowledge will help build mutual respect
and strengthen the bond between you, even if you are hundreds or even
thousands of miles apart.
