text: I live in Miami.  I am involved with a Cuban that is already here.  \n\n\nI think that your answer has more to do with marrying an immigrant from a country that sucks instead of specifically "Cuban."   \n\nIn general, such people may be more inclined to do what they have to do to get out of their sucky country.  Will the person be grateful?  Maybe.   Can people learn to love?  Maybe.\n\nThe biggest problem is that they were raised in horrible, communist dictatorship.  Their value system and perspective on life is very different from you or at least what your question suggests -- a romantic, love based value system.   \n\nThe United States is very wealthy and we are very soft. We dont know about survival in the United States - try living in Albania, Afganistan, Rwanda, or Cuba.  \n\nHope that this helps.
