Context

• Cross-Cultural Dating and Marriage is not a new phenomenon with the phrase 'Mail Order Bride' dating to the 1800's
• There has never been a serious study conducted of these cross-cultural marriages and their rates of failure or causes for divorce
• There have been several recent tragic and high-profile newsworthy cases of abuse and murder in connection with Cross-Cultural Marriage
• Recent legislation has seemingly vilified the men involved in Cross-Cultural Marriage
• International Relations, as an independent 'voice' in the field of Cross-Cultural Marriage initiated the first wide-scale scientific survey into the real data and facts, resulting in this survey.
