If you’ve been wondering about this, this is an episode for you! In this interview with Anna-Marie Donkor, we dive into her intercultural relationship and explore her real experience, with her Ghanaian husband.
At first, nobody believed in Anna-Marie and her husband, the cultural differences seemed too huge. Nobody believed they will last. Now, people are asking how is it possible that Anna-Marie has such an amazing relationship with a man who happens to be her husband.
We chat through the importance of marrying somebody for whom he really is and accepting him, his family, his culture, his issues and instead of trying to change him, seeking more understanding and ways how you can function as a couple.
Anna-Marie says her mindset completely changed when she got married and this shift actually deepen their relationship. Knowing they are in it for the long run and the importance of really understanding what can make your partner happy or can cause him pain.
She also shares how important it is for her to understand her emotions and be able to resist seeing her partner through the emotions in the heat of the moment.
We get excited talking about the importance of building relationship not only with our partners but mostly with ourselves and being able to motivate ourselves because sometimes were the only person who can lift us up when we are down.
So, even if your relationship and life is like a rollercoaster, pop in those headphones and decide to Screw Being Unhappy!
