“…In general, the current research revealed various impolite phenomena in the marital relationship, which are straightforwardly linked to disharmony and conflicts. Similar findings have been discussed in previous studies in multiple marital contexts (Bustamante et al, 2011;Djurdjevic & Roca, 2016;Romano, 2008;Van Mol & De Valk, 2015) that couples might encounter familial and societal disapproval and may frequently struggle with macro or micro-communicative challenges from different habits, values, and languages. The evidence from this study supports the assumption that a problematic marital relationship tends to be signaled in certain practices of impoliteness.…”

The issue of impoliteness has long been a matter of interest in linguistic investigations. Considerable research has been conducted to uncover factors and features regarding the realizations of impoliteness in multiple social contexts. This study engages in a pragmatic inquiry into impoliteness in the marital relationship. The data of this study consisted of a TV episode from one famous on-site mediation reality program in China. Primarily drawing on Bousfield’s (2008) model of impoliteness realizations, this study used a qualitative approach to examine the means by which the couple in a marital relationship causes face-attacking effects and ultimately arouses conflicts. The primary findings of this study indicate that couples might struggle with various communicative challenges. A problematic marital relationship tends to be signaled in some practices of impoliteness. This study has identified thirteen realizations of impoliteness linguistically and behaviorally that indicate gender variations concerning the couple’s frequent impoliteness practices.

“…An inter-faith marriage is a union of two people from different social groups, castes, or religious beliefs (Jaanides 2004). Inter-faith marriages are defined as inter-caste marriages, inter-cultural marriages, inter-faith marriages, and same-faith marriages (Romano 2008). Inter-faith marriage is a change from one social group to another.…”

This study looks at the challenges and benefits of interreligious and interfaith marriages. It looks at how different beliefs, values, and practices affect personal relationships and the way a family works. Using a qualitative research approach, we conducted in-depth investigations and research on interreligious and interfaith marriages to gain insight into the various measurements in different countries and religions. Interfaith marriage is prohibited in many religions, but in the present it is normal. Especially in Christianity, interfaith marriage is popular at differing ages, like before 25, 26–35, and 36–45, with a percentage of 48, 58, and 67. Our findings suggest that while these marriages can be challenging, they also offer opportunities for personal growth, greater understanding of different religious traditions, and the promotion of interfaith dialogue and cooperation.

“…This includes the complex task of negotiating different religious affiliations and cultural values (Nabeshima, 2005) as well as managing cross‐cultural relationships with extended family (Yalom & Carstensen, 2002). Cultural differences in communication (Flores et al, 2004; Llerena‐Quinn & Bacigalupe, 2009; Sprenkle et al, 2009) and childrearing responsibilities (Romano, 2001) have also elicited considerable discussion. Another area of research examines how power in intercultural couples is mediated through differences in language, race and gender (Bystydzienski, 2011; Molina et al, 2004; Seto & Cavallaro, 2007).…”

Using a combination of macro-and micro-analytic approaches in discourse analysis, this article examines transcripts from three initial sessions of DVD-recorded conjoint couple therapy with an intercultural couple.We analyse the strategies of power employed by therapy participants to promote their preferred construction of the referral problem. Focusing on the intersections of gender, psychopathology and culture, we explore how wider sociocultural discourses play out in the microcontext of participants' discursive exchanges. We also consider how the therapist's interventions privilege and marginalise client discourses in both strategic and unintended ways. This article offers some clinical techniques to address the dilemmas and difficulties identified in our analysis. We conclude by underscoring the value of reviewing recordings and transcripts of therapy dialogues to enhance cultural reflexivity.
