Well I know of more than a few Turkish/Western marriages that worked and are still working. I also know some that didn't. In my opinion it takes getting through the first 5 years to be counted as a success.

Congtratulations Shama. I wish you many more wonderful years success...
Oh, I'm sorry Shama....In rereading my post, it sounds harsh. it's just that most divorces take place in the first 2 1/2 years. It seems the first two are the honeymoon period, also I guess my idea of 5 years comes from California marriage laws.
Ending a marriage before 5 years is called Summary Dissolution. After five years to end a marriage becomes more complicated. There is also a ten year mark where certain community assets divisions and support are mandatory. It seems the laws indicate the longer you are married, the more you are married.

I'm curious how marriage (civil marriage) laws are in different areas. In the US each state has different laws regarding marriage rights. Some states states are | Community Property States It does not matter what the laws were in the state you had your civil marriage performed in, the state you reside in takes precedance.
It can get complicated in as much as it also entails
Intellectual Property
Quoting shama-uk: ........Thank you Alameda... I didnt actually think you sounded harsh at all - just honest. And i respect absolute honesty - as you will see from my own comments on certain topics [

Surely this we should be talking about how hard it is to keep a marriage together full stop not just when the couple concerned are of different nationalities etc.

I take your points and agree that there are added barriers to over come such as the ones you mentioned like culture,traditions,language and so on.I found in my experience that it is a challenge worth taking on as the rewards can be greater than that of a relationship where the couple are of the same nationality,speak the same language for example (as a first language anyway),share similar customs etc i suppose that way it is just easier because you know what to expect from each other but in my view half the fun is understanding the other person perhaps better than you might if they were not different than yourself because everything would just be assumed.Plus its important to remember here that in the case of a turkish marriage/relationship there is the family as well to consider here not just one person.
