What Special Problems? What special problems were faced by these people who made mixed marriages? Well, a few faced continuing problems with their parents and ‘in-laws’ but most found no great difficulty in adapting to the situation. In some cases where the Maori had already adopted a Pakeha way of life, or the Pakeha knew Maori ways and accepted them, there were important changes to be made by either the husband or the wife. It was sometimes a matter of food tastes or language or it might be the more deeply imbedded attitudes to life which still separate many Maoris from many Pakehas. In most cases I found that the couple were well aware of the problems they faced and took a sensible and well balanced approach to them.
