Marrying someone from another nation can be exciting, interesting and challenging. ofcourse nothing is correct or wrong when its come to marriage - few praticle diffculties are:
- understanding/communciation : very very big issues. hard time understanding each other's humor. imagine explianing the humor to one another...! discussion with either parents/in-laws are almost impossible (this is very diffcult if even understand the language)
- home court advantage :If a foreign man marries an American woman and they live in the United States, she would be cast in the leadership role in some aspects of their relationship
- cultural & religious beliefs : one of must needs to give a little and adjust a little bit more. Often, it is the person with the least strict beliefs. Religion is a thorny issue. (confused child/child raising issues..)

True. I agree with all your points. Regarding your second point, a marriage can survive only if there is mutual respect and admiration. But if the respect factor stems from the person's passport, thats a sure recipe for failure.
Genuine cross-culture marriages often seem happier than actual arranged marriages back home. I've seen it over and over again. It's surprising considering many come from so different cultures.
