“…Patterns of cross-cultural and interfaith relationships (i.e., couples of different cultural backgrounds and religious faiths) have become more common in recent years (Clark, 2006;Goli, Singh, & Sekher, 2013;Hollingshead, 1950;Joyner & Kao, 2005;Khoo, Birrell, & Heard, 2009;Lara & Onedera, 2007;Locke, Sabagh, & Thomes, 1957;Thomas, 1951).
