    Choosing a life-long partner can be one of the most challenging communication tasks for many people. Staying with that partner during sickness and health, in hard times and in good times, takes much skill and patience beyond the initial love that brings two people together. In this unit you will meet Gail and Mark who face the added problems that two different races bring to a marriage. You will observe how both cultures miss understanding each other’s customs when you read about Rich’s first meeting with his girlfriend’s Chinese family. Finally, you will learn some traditional ideas about marriage practiced by different cultures around the world.
