Find many books on foreign cultures, languages, and countries all over the world at the I Married An Alien BOOKSTORE. I have bought many, many, many books on my husband’s culture. They solved several mysteries about “strange” things he did and thought. Reading about your spouse’s culture can help you:
Understand why certain things are SO important to him or her, though they seem strange or insignificant to you and all of your friends.
Learn how to make your spouse feel more at home in this country and in your home.
Learn that there is a whole world (or country) of people very similar to your spouse, though your friends, family, and coworkers may not be!
Read about the experiences, emotions, successes, and failures of other intercultural couples and learn from them.
I have gained so much from reading about my spouse’s culture. I think you will too.
