본 연구는 국제결혼을 선택한 국내 남성배우자들의 결혼동기와 배우자와의 관계형성 내용과 과정 그리고 질적인 변화 등을 생애사 연구방법(Biography research method)으로 접근하여 그들의 구체적 경험세계를 살펴보고자 하는 목적을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에는 국제결혼을 한 10명의 국내 남성 배우자들이 참여했고 연구참여자들과의 심층면담을 통해 자료를 수집했다. 자료를 분석한 결과 연구참여자들의 결혼동기는 도구적 성격이 강했다. 연구참여자들은 동업자 관계를 유지하다 교환가치가 비동등해지자 긴장과 갈등이 생성되었고 이 위기에 대응하는 방식에 따라 혼인관게가 종료되기도 했고 유지되기도 했다. 혼인관계를 유지하고 있는 연구참여자들은 자기의 문화를 해체한 후 배우자 문화와의 접점에서 이를 재구성했고 그후 새로운 디아스포라적 위치로 자리이동을 했다. 연구의 함의에서는 결혼이민여성들을 지구화 시대의 새로운 디아스포라(neo-diaspora)로 보는 관점의 학문적 필요성을 역설했고 제언에서는 문화간 교육(intercultural education)을 제언했다.

The purposes of this study were to investigate Korean men that chose international marriage in terms of motivations, relationships with their spouses in terms of content and process, and quality changes by approaching them in a biography research method, as well as to look into the world of their specific experiences. Ten Korean men in international marriage participated in the study. In-depth interviews with them generated plenty of data. The analysis results of the data indicate that the instrumental nature was strong as for their motivation to marry a woman of a different nationality. They maintained partner relationships with their spouses until the exchange values became equal between them, when tension and conflicts started to happen. The ways they reacted to the crisis determined whether their marital relationships would continue or end. Most of the subjects that succeeded in maintaining their marital relationships deconstructed their own culture, reorganized it at the contact points with the culture of their spouses, and then moved to a new diaspora. The research implications emphasize an academic need to regard female marriage immigrants as a neo-diaspora in the global age. And suggestions were made as to intercultural education.
