Abstract:
Intermarriage can be seen as the victory of love over tradition. Yet, the persistence of each partner's attachments to his or her cultural and religious background and its meaning and symbols influence the marriage. It is the drawing out of these meanings and attachments through marital therapy that can help the couple achieve a deeper intimacy and harmony.
