I was initially exposed to the subject of immigration when I wrote my Master's thesis on the subject of "Identity and Language Preservation Among Second Generation Immigrants", while I lived in New York in the early 2000s. Since then I have continued to study and advance in the field.
In our age that is characterized by global mobility and intercultural openness, I often meet "mixed" couples where one spouse had to leave his native country for the sake of the relationship. In these situations, it is evident that the context of immigration becomes a significant factor in the couple's and family's life. The imbalances stemming from this reality along with the social, logistical professional and cultural challenges of adjusting to a new environment that the immigrating spouse faces (and their children potentially) present new and unexpected challenges.
Immigration can also be an opportunity for the couple; Those who make the conscious decision and joint effort in favor of the relationship usually have a high level of commitment and have the resources to succeed. The "mixed" couples I meet are usually comprised of individuals who know how to be on the move, to transform and to hold on to shared dreams and shared optimism.
