Journalist Romano has worked as a cross-cultural trainer and has personal experience in an intercultural marriage. In this third update to her text, first published in the 1980's, she excerpts and responds to interviews with about 50 intercultural couples, offering advice in brief chapters on overcoming frustrations over factors that include: values, food and drink, sex male-female roles, time, place of residence, politics, friends, finances, in-laws, social class, religion, raising children, language and communication, ethnocentrism, and death and divorce, among others.
