Scenario

When spouses have different relationships with ancestral worship and family traditions

My husband and I have been married fifteen years and he's never once joined me for the ancestral rites at my family's altar, says it's 'not his tradition' — but now our teenage son is asking why Dad doesn't participate and I realize we've created this divide in our own home without ever actually talking about what it means for our family's spiritual life together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A couple has avoided addressing how differing spiritual practices around ancestral reverence creates disconnection in their shared family life.
