“Rashmi Singla discusses the concept of intermarriage, its intersection with mental health, and well-being. … Singla’s work is pivotal. It greatly bridges connections between mental health practitioners, students, researchers, and faculty. This book is intended for anyone interested in intermarriage, interracial and intercultural couples, and related relationships (family, etc.).” (Gita Seshadri, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 61 (6), February, 2016)

'A valuable book full of insights into a complex field that is often ignored. It should be very helpful to professionals working in multicultural societies, especially to counsellors and psychotherapists, but also of interest to academics and indeed the general public.' - Suman Fernando, London Metropolitan University, UK

'Dr. Singla's book is a rich and significant contribution to the dearth of professional literature on the life experiences of intermarried couples and families. The global context within which this book is written broadens and transforms the discussion regarding love across ethnic boundaries. The information provided throughout the book offers far-reaching insights for practitioners in the fields of counselling and psychotherapy working with this ever-growing population around the world.' - Kelley R. Kenney, Kutztown University, USA

'This book makes an important contribution to understanding the intimate lives of people in mixed marriages.' - Lucy Williams, University of Kent, UK

'This book is very valuable for academics from the social sciences as well as lay persons interested in intercultural marriages and diaspora, both for information as well as intervention.' - Nandita Chaudhary, University of Delhi, India

'This book is a welcome and necessary addition to the growing literature on globalised lives. Taking as its point of departure the intimacy and experienced realities of cross-national couples, it is of great interest both empirically and theoretically.' -
