Abstract/Summary
Marriages between Filipinos and Filipino-Chinese have been shown to face parental disapproval, usually from the parents of the Filipino-Chinese spouse. This study used cross-case analysis of in-depth interviews to document the methods with which disapproval was expressed the reasons for marriage despite disapproval and the effects of disapproval on the marriage and on the couples' relationship with their parents. Results showed that in cases where spouses showed effort in getting to know the parents and accepting their culture, disapproval may be mitigated. Common reasons for marriage included feelings of love, independence and maturity. Disapproval entailed a variety of coping strategies and emotional reactions in the couples. Disapproval commonly caused less warmth in relationships with parents who strongly disapproved, and had little effect on relationships with parents who weekly disapproved or did not disapprove.
