Do You Believe In A Lifelong Happy Marriage Between A Nigerian And An American?

 So many people criticize a relationship between a Nigerian man and an American woman.  Why is that? I know that yahoo boys have ruined the image of a lot of honest Nigerian men.  But is it impossible to believe that a marriage will last between two people from two different cultures?

Yea like any other thing in life, there is a great chance of survival. Both parties have to be willing to compromise, endure, have a level of understanding, and ready to adapt Cos obviously there'll be a deal of difference in culture and understanding and have a unite spirit

But like my sister BabyO said, lots have gone, seen and conquered

I do get what you mean by Yahoo boys though and then there are the ones that are just in it for selfish reasons like getting their papers and citizenship, but there are some who go in for dubious reasons, fall in love and live happily ever after

Some go in for the right reasons and end up not so happy . .

Yes its very much possible, its all about luck and destinies, if they're meant to happen, come rain come jupiter they will work, their cultures regardless

wish you many more years of marital bliss.
Our men can be abrupt but they mean well,we have a different culture.
Most of them will give their lives for their family.
I'm happy to be a Nigerian married to a Nigerian

@redwoman  that is a good testimony,  But it always better to call home your home.

It's possible but difficult.

Today, the psyche of the typical American woman is not compatible with the traditional "till death do us part" kind of marriage.

Nigerian men are hard wired with the notion of roles in a marriage - the roles of the wife and the roles of the husband. The typical American woman is either unfamiliar with such roles or is familiar with and opposed to the entire notion of roles.

Many American women grew up in broken homes in which the idea "a lifelong happy marriage" has not been nurtured.

Most Nigerian men prefer to marry women in their twenties or early thirties, however, American women in their twenties are too immature for marriage, and so they're ready for marriage in their thirties and early forties. This age-maturity mismatch can be confusing for the typical Nigerian man.

Compared to Nigerian (or African/Caribbean) women, they do not mange stress very well.

Cases of anxiety, personality disorder, mental illness, etc. are more common among American women. This may be as a result of better health services that do a good job in managing these problems, with the unintended consequence of blurring the line between what we consider normal behavior and attitudes that are as a result of some form of mental illness. This ties into the higher propensity to use drugs (methamphetamine, heroine, ecstasy, marijuana, cocaine, etc.), probably as a means of coping with deep personality disorders, or as a path to some form of psychosis.

I believe in a lifelong marraige between humans, making a marriage work as got nothing to do with one's nationality,  "u aint trippin stil u been screwed up, "
