Develop Like Interests

In a relationship, your mate might occasionally have interests that you do not always like however you'll need to discover ways to share those interests without seeming phony or overly accommodating. For instance, if your mate likes to listen to sixties rock and roll however you're more into classic R&B, you are able to learn about rock artists like Hendrix who had a blues sound in his rock songs.


Gain Their Interest

Consider how you are able to utilize your cultural background to love your partner’s activities. If your mate enjoys reading Second World War nonfiction books and you had relatives who helped in World War II, share your family scrapbook with your partner and talk with him or her about the conflicts your military relatives dealt with during that time period.


Produce amusing activities that the both of you are able to love together, as this builds up the love and closeness in your relationship despite the cultural differences. If you and your mate both like jazz music and both of you are great at playing instruments, the two of you are able to hold a couples' jazz concert at home where you are able to invite a little group of friends over for dinner.


Compromise from time to time as this allows you to formulate fresh interests and get closer to your partner. For instance, if you do not like Italian food however your partner grew up in an Italian home; make an effort to learn how to make his or her preferred meals. You are able to read Italian cookbooks, ask the partner relatives or go to sites that have Italian recipes.



Ask your partner questions about his or her interests. This will give you a better understanding and you might formulate an admiration for them. For instance, suppose your mate has a strong interest in collecting foreign coins. You are able to ask about the cultures of the nations that are presented on the coins and, as you learn more, you might formulate an interest in exploring world cultures.
