The question of whether it is possible to build a relationship between people with completely different cultural traditions worries many. After all, one way or another, culture is not just food, music and holidays, but also ways of communicating, values, views on life. And what to do if these differences seem insurmountable?

The first and most important step in any intercultural relationship is respect for each other's traditions.

If the feelings are sincere, then the desire to learn to understand each other and respect the partner's culture will become natural.

In any relationship, it is important to openly discuss disagreements. This applies to cultural differences too. Maybe your families and traditions are different, but if you are ready to compromise and look for solutions that suit both parties, then failures can be easily avoided.

Instead of fighting for your traditions, try to create something of your own. You can combine the best features of two cultures, creating a unique family tradition that will combine the best of both worlds.

In the end, it is important to remember that a relationship is not about how you and your partner see the world the same way, but about how willing you are to be there, support and learn from each other.
I wonder, what do you think?
