I am an African-American female that is engaged to an African man. Initially, I believed he was only marrying me because I was from America and he wanted to gain his citizenship. Now, after almost two years of knowing him and his character we have decided to marry on Oct. 22nd. Although our cultures are very different, our love for one another is more potent. I need advice from anyone that would help me to understand the Liberian culture better (of course I've been doing research and I have visited Liberia just recently) but I need more. I need insight into how Liberian men (in general) think about marriage, women's roles, family life, etc. I love the Liberian culture and I am thirsty for knowledge. Today I present myself as a student sitting before you all as my teachers. I am waiting to learn.... (please leave the negativity off this forum. Thanks)!

the only culture and tradition you have to learn is your husband, study him more and more,no his likes,dislike,hobbies,what make him happy....there is culture greater than this.

Thanks for the advice! Nevertheless, I think it is highly important to understand one's cultural background. It helps to put things in a better perspective

There is nothing Culture will benefit you in your happy married life, Leave the excuse and face your man, He is the best person to educate you about his culture and backgrounds. In every country of the world/ or Africa, they have different cultures and deeds within, just as tribes differs , So what you have to do is Love your man well and you will know the rest as long as you're eager to learn and cope with whatever it is.
DirtyKid is a Happy Kid !!.....FATHER !! I've cast my bread on the waters long time ago. Now it's time 4u to return it, well buttered !!
