Rev. Trish ffrench
Marrying Across Borders is an easy-to-read true story that highlights many of the unique challenges couples face in cross cultural marriages. For anyone contemplating marrying someone from another culture, this book is an essential read. But it will also greatly benefit anyone supporting such a couple – whether in a pastoral role or simply friends and family.

This personal story helps us to identify with those of different race, colour or belief, with whom we find little in common. Misconceptions are barriers to true friendship. Here we are shown a path of discovery with ingredients making for an enduring marriage and loving family. We find ‘foreign’ customs to appreciate and even enjoy, away from our insular homeland. Marrying across Borders is a book for all to enjoy. Read and broaden your horizons.
