Here's my take on your relationship. Both need to be open to each others culture and needs and find ways to adapt to it. Approach it with an open mind because your both are from two different cultures. Respect each other’s differences . Try and learn to listen to each other and find ways to make it work while being open about your differences with understanding. These are the barriers you will confront in life. There will be conflict of interest but there part of your learning process. You will eventually find common ground but it will require a lot of cultural sacrifices on both sides. Obviously you want to be together to make it work. I say don't have kids yet until you're both are happy and set for life. You will both know if you spend at least one year in Germany together and see what works on the long run there if you had kids then one year in fiji and see which one would work out best for you. Just be yourselves like you are now and don't hide anything from each other then you'll both be happy.

Isa, I admire both your commitment to each other in adapting to different lifestyles and cultural backgrounds which might be daunting at first glance. It is a big challenge for both couple's families in exception, but things generally get easier as time goes on, speaking from experience married to Rachael in England and living in the beautiful countryside of Somerset. I wish you both the very best in pursuing your dreams and hope to hear from your experiences soon. Vinaka vaka levu and God bless 🙏 ❤️

I totally agree with Lea on the Fiji time, can be hard to deal with but that normally is associated when you live abroad and one is used to the fast pace, it can be very annoying going back home and having to adapt to the slow pace which is manageable but people take it to the extreme by just not turning up on time which is rude! 4yrs and you are still together is great, Im sure you are learning to live with each other and embracing your differences makes your videos enjoyable to watch.

The main reason of having an interracial relationship/marriage is to learn new cultures and experiences from both sides of the family. Especially teaching both how to respect each other in their own unique ways of living and learning from it. It’s very important, special and enjoyable when you both experience it. Speaking from personal experience and if I was in his shoes, I’d be excited to visit Berlin, eat sauerkraut with German sausages and bakery, go to the Oktoberfest, learn German language and visit the historical sites of WW2🎉

I appreciate you two. God bless you and have a great time making more awsome vlogs. Take care guys.

Vinaka vakalevu. God bless you both.

Oh my gosh, just starting to watch your videos but this one is so relatable!!!!

Another fabulous family video guys.

Lmao him not accepting the fact that you made the 1st move😭🤣 his pride was hurt

Turaga, 1 hour late, lucky sara ga she waited for you.

I really enjoyed watching your video

Lea from what I’m seeing you like Mark but you have some reservations on him being Fijian. Enjoy your relationship while you explore each other’s culture. Fijians are laid back by nature and Germans are known for their desire to be seen as being efficient in everything they do. These differences will be the biggest obstacle in your future happiness especially if children are in the equation. Good luck.

Nice video vinaka!

More videos mummy and daddy God bless always.

Amazing story.

@lea&markabroad Bula!! New Subscriber Here! I just found your channel and had to subscribe to another “Fellow KZfaqr” especially because it’s a Fijian Channel. I’m also from FIJI, Born and raised in Lautoka. I’m Polynesian but definitely Fijian on the inside. There are many FIJIAN channels on KZfaq but a bit “Nako . . kila?” You guys are probably only the second channel I follow besides the WAKA Family because your content is good and interesting enough for Me because I can totally relate to everything. Watching Lea make rourou was entertaining because it’s definitely a culture difference like for example scraping the coconut. Man I’ve done it all from scraping coconut to pounding grog for My Elders 😂😂 I live in California USA 🇺🇸 now with My wife and 3 year old son and We started a kids channel recently just for Our son lol 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, keep up the good work guys 👍 and remember “FIJI TIME and FIJI STYLE” are different 😂❤🇫🇯

Hahahaha Fiji time and the way Fijian eats Hahahaha

"the weather that he's never experienced, he wouldn't enjoy." 😂😂😂😂

The weather, its typical Fijian boy.

Where are you now? Any more videos?

Fiji is a developing country, and house rules and manners are some issues to be reckoned with. However, you can take a Fijian out of Fiji, but you cannot take Fiji out of a Fijian, we are happy people, and don't care what other people think, we are happy.

Interracial relationship? Well you must know that Fiji Islands belonged to itaukeis kaiViti in their own villages provinces doing their own stuffs archaic in nature back in 1400s before European arrivals and Chinese and other races. So depends on how open and adaptive one is to anything new they get to experience. Fiji Islands still has rural living conditions even in urban suburban like we kinda literally modernized so fast in Fiji. Due to many coups happening people just living the way they want to live as many see it more easier and less stressful a lot hahahahahahaha. Yeah you guys great you be having more wedding anniversaries respect God bless. Yes take daddy Marika to Germany and live there for years.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

kids? common guys, we need more 7 rugby players for the future..hhh just kidding, all the best

Vinaka from nz ,Auckland

Fijians are always humble not bossy.🐵🐵🐵

You're a cute couple, try to stay in Fiji, even if the temptation is to move abroad....Jesus will be revealed to the world in FIJI, you are blessed

He looks like a Tamilian

As long that you both agreed anything and Love and support each other that will be bless .God always give us a choice to make when you ready accept God . Jesus Christ will come in your life .

German weather is great

What does Marika do for living?

ONLY FIJIANS ARE WATCHING, COMMENTING & SUPPORTING THIS CHANNEL, NOT GERMANS. SO DON'T DISRESPECT THE FIJI PASSPORT 🇫🇯 LEA - YOU ARE "NOT" BETTER THAN MARK OR ANYONE. HUMBLE YOURSELF GIRL!!

I don't know how this so-called relationship will work since the girl is from an advanced culture of the 21st century, while the male is from a culture that is so primitive that didn't even make it to the stone age. What does she see in him?

There's a reason why God Himself set up nations and ethnicities of people. With it comes cultures, customs and traditions, including their own Gods. All this would be lost if people kept mixing bloodlines. Not to mention confused children with two of each of these factors, and therefore reducing the importance of cultures and traditions. This is not meant to be a racist comment, if we see where this is all heading, with mix marriage and mix gender and so forth, it is ultimately to remove the image of God from man and woman. It starts of as something non threatening, but after a while the whole 'mixing' of things pertaining to human kind will ultimately be our downfall!
