Scenario

When couples struggle to balance family traditions from different cultures

My husband and I have been married three years and we're still fighting about whose family traditions take precedence during holidays — his Korean family expects certain observances and my Mexican family has their own, and we keep trying to do everything and end up exhausted and resentful. Neither of us wants to disappoint our parents but we also can't keep living like this.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are caught between honoring their respective cultural inheritances and creating sustainable boundaries as a new family unit.
