Abstract

Introduction: The increase of marriage in Asian-American men indicates a need to further explore the unique cultural characteristics of this population. Method: The present study (n = 14) utilized transcendental phenomenology to explore how Asian-American men organize their marital relationships. Result: Four themes emerged: a) inapplicability of stereotypes, gender roles, and existing guidelines for marriage, b) inclusion and normalcy, c) rules and roles in marriage involve integrating Asian and American values, and d) rules and roles are negotiated both through conversation and organically developed. Conclusion: Stereotypes, gender, social supports, cultural values, and implications were discussed.
