Survey on Intercultural couples: stress factors, crisis and divorce issues

Partner's Path - Peer Support on the Path to Employment

The most common challenge in an Intercultural marriage begins with the couple themselves. It is a commonly-held conviction that value dissimilarity in intercultural couple relationships leads to dissatisfaction and conflicts.
​
The aim of this survey is to increase understanding about Intercultural marriage stress factors, crisis and divorce issues, enabling us to better comprehend the kind of services useful in supporting Intercultural couples.

It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete the questionnaire. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. Thank you for taking part!
