Abstract

The family is considered one of the most important units of society because it contributes to the physical and mental well-being of its members. Each family has different characteristics, concepts, views, and values. The difference in this concept is influenced by individual characters, including their cultural background. Marriage is an effort to harmonize two different cultures, both in broad terms such as race, ethnicity, skin colour, customs and in specific terms such as habits, individual characteristics, characteristics and thoughts (mindset). In the cross-cultural scope, marriage has unique challenges and opportunities. It is crucial to explore the efforts and barriers of cross-cultural families in building cultural resilience from various aspects. This study uses case studies to reveal family resilience in cross-cultural couples based on Froma Walsh’s theory. Results Based on the study, a description of family resilience can be described from three main aspects: the belief system, organizational processes, and communication processes. Cross-cultural family dynamics to build family resilience and contribute to the contribution of family guidance and counselling. The implications of family guidance and counselling help families to plan and solve family problems, especially in building family resilience.
