Like I say the hardest part is the being a new country which is completely different from what you are used to, we don't gather on streets here and chat, although I hate to say it, the English are a unsocialble race unless we're drunk LOL (well I guess our unfortunate weather has a lot to do with it )

Problems are what you make them, we believe that relationships are about understanding eachother and working with one another to achieve what you want as a couple. Being from different cultures hasn't by any means been negative on our relationship but enriched both of us as individuals. We both have a better perspective of life and what it has to offer and what is important and what is not.
If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been married?

Thanks,
Helpmann
