Marriage is one of God’s most precious gifts. But it’s also hard work. Cross cultural marriages can bring extra blessings and also extra challenges. Love Across Latitudes is a great resource to help couples, and the churches and communities who support them, to think through the blessings and challenges of cross cultural marriages. I’m so pleased this book is being reprinted. Highly recommended. Love Across Latitudes is more than an interesting book to be merely read and appreciated; rather, it is a valuable workbook that provides insightful discussion questions on varying life topics for people who are serious about understanding, overcoming and capitalizing on differences in culture and worldview. If you’re looking for a practical resource that will enhance a bicultural relationship and help facilitate bridging any “cultural divide,” I highly recommend this time—tested book. |
We hope you will get this book into the hands of anyone thinking about marriage, especially those going into international and cross—cultural marriages. We have used this book in OM for many years to help prepare couples entering cross cultural marriages. Many couples dream of a life in missions together, but for many that dream does not come true. Financially, mission life is demanding. Often the couples have not counted the cost of the thousands of miles between their home countries where their parents and loved ones are and the cost of travel in visiting. When their mission dream collapses and they return, they sometimes have trouble finding a job or it is hard to re—enter life at home and their church situation. Hearts break, marriages break and children are impacted. So you can understand why we believe this important book is a must read! Love Across Latitudes is a unique resource and meets a major need for cross—cultural couples. It helped us learn to relate in more constructive ways in the early years of our relationship. We have shared it with a number of other cross—cultural couples, on several continents. |
