Marrying a Czech woman has, in my experience, involved a certain amount of cultural blending. We have had to find some common ground between different attitudes toward family and parenting, and compromises have taken place on both sides. I’m sure this is the case with any relationship, but when you come from different cultures the compromises can be more challenging. Luckily, our relationship has also brought me in contact with aspects of Czech culture I may have otherwise avoided or missed.
