Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – The Unavoidable Power of Culture in Marriage Embrace, Modify, and Thrive

Remember that culture is going to be the most powerful.

Usually, for the majority of people, culture is the most

powerful factor in your life.

Even if you consider yourself to be not cultural, all that means

is, I'm probably not part of my father's culture or my mother's

culture. I've just developed another culture. Right? You can

never escape culture. That's why what you can do though, is you can

take the best of any culture, and modify your culture and free

yourself from debilitating aspects of your culture. So that's a very,

very important discussion and culture as a massive, really,

really, really big influence on a marriage, you can't escape it.

Also, a lot of people think that marriage is just between me and my

spouse. And that's a major fallacy.
