Cross-National Couples in the Mainland United States
Abstract
Cross-national marriage is often included in discussions of differences in race, ethnicity, and culture, but its group identity and concerns specific to cross-national couples appear to be unclear. This article explores several aspects that are pertinent to understanding cross-national couples in the mainland United States. Counseling considerations including counselor cultural competency are also discussed. The need for more research and clinical attention to investigate the breadth and complexity of cross-national marriage is addressed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
