EvieSeo, may I ask this if you don't mind. You and your Korean partner are giving out of yourselves and learning things (cultural, language, etc) of each others. I understand this well. But, where is your meeting point? (understand heart meet, but, in mind?)
You mean a so called "common ground"? Well, practically everything we do, we enjoy together. If I am ying, he would be my yang ;) We met, for we both love travelling, and this is how it started, then we enjoyed travelling together for many years. We went to Asia together, drove across Canada (road trip), visited Poland, Czech and other places..
We love camping out, we both enjoy cooking (actually we plan to open up a restaurant together). For me, he is more like a long lost part of me, rediscovered all over again, when I met him, so when you ask me what is the meeting point, it's just hard to descibe, for we don't have to meet in a point, we're just one.
It's hard for me to understand how two people can love each other and still put cultural differences or religion over the partner, it can not be a TRUE love I think.
The trick is to enjoy discovering each others backgrounds and culture, not be prejudiced and biased from the step one of relationship. We're both excited about this stuff, I enjoy Korean culture (movies, music, food, language, people), he feels the same about Polish..
That's why it works.
Sorry about the offtop.
