Marriage between Albanians and Americans? Absolutely yes. This is the answer that Anthony Barbuto says without thinking twice, while wearing the Albanian ‘plis’ on his head. The 44-year-old has been married for 8 years to the woman from Albania, Rovena. And without a doubt, Barbuto says this is his best decision.
But, many might wonder how marriage works between Albanians and Americans, due to the great differences in culture. The Barbuto couple has confessed to Atlaniku that these differences were never an obstacle to building a healthy relationship.
“It depends a lot on the mind of the man and woman more than the culture. The fight and discussions are not about the culture. If there are couples who clash, I don’t think it’s about the culture, it’s about something else”, says Anthony Barbuto.
In fact, he says that Albanian culture is always interesting to him and every time he visits Albania he learns something new. But, did any tradition of the Albanians surprise Anthony?
“We have had no problems, but only misunderstandings in the context of knowing the culture. For example, when I visited Rovena’s family members, they asked me “how is your mother”, “how is your sister”, “nephews, sisters, cousins”. And I I asked Rovena why they are asking me about my sister, I don’t understand”, says Anthony laughing.
While Rovena claims that her husband has learned a lot about Albanian culture.
“Anthony is very open and wants to learn about other cultures, especially the Albanian one. When I explain our culture to him, he is satisfied. He wants to use that information in his daily life,” Rovena told Atlantiku.
Even according to her, the change in culture makes Americans more curious about Albanians.
“We Albanians are very different from the Americans, for this reason they get very close to us because they like our traditions a lot”, she says.
He even says that he knows other couples who have the same marriage history.
The Barbuto couple also use social media through which they best show how they manifest the changes in culture in their marriage.
