I''m Viet and my husband is french Canadian. I think the major cultural issue is going to occur when we raise our children. There''s a lot of things about the way he was raised that I DO NOT want in my own children. For example, very little emphasis on education (the parents never encouraged it at all) That worries me. In addition, the TV. We never watched TV during the week, and they had the TV on 24/7. I''m afraid he doesn''t see things the way I do. And these are really NON-COMPROMISE issues. We''ve discussed it before marriage and he says that these things/values are ok. But I think that saying and doing are two very different things. And I type this as he sits next to me playing video games. Which he does nearly every night of the week.
Aside from that, I would like my children to learn how to speak Viet (or at least understand it).
So most of the issues I have are with the futur children. Between us, it''s just that his family is ver gregarious, and fun-loving, while I''m very quiet and restrained. So I''m often accused of snobbery when I don''t talk enough.
