“…Yet research to guide this work is limited (Murray, 2004). Most have quantitatively explored attitudes toward interracial marriages and the factors involved in predicting divorce, happiness, satisfaction, and stability (e.g., Bishchoff, 2005; Bratter & King, 2008; Bratter & Eschbach, 2006; Dirlic, Miyahara, & Johartchi, 2006; Levin, Taylor, & Caudle, 2007). There is a need for more study of the process issues involved as interracial couples construct a life together (Cheng, 2005; Karis & Killian, 2009; Troy, Lewis‐Smith, & Laurenceau, 2006).…”

This study focused on how couples managed their interracial and intercultural differences. To understand their experiences, a qualitative grounded theory analysis was used (n=17). Analysis revealed that couples experienced most issues as cultural issues; race only occurred during their interactions with "others." They appeared to organize their responses according to four relationship structures: Integrated, Singularly Assimilated, Coexisting, and Unresolved. Couples in each of these structures managed daily process through four sets of relationship strategies: (a) creating a "we," (b) framing differences, (c) emotional maintenance, and (d) positioning in relationship to familial and societal context. These findings are a step toward a strength-based and research-informed education and clinical interventions for this population. Video Abstract.
