Scenario

How couples blend different family spiritual traditions

My wife's family has a strong tradition of saying grace before meals and my family never did that and our kids are now old enough to notice the difference and ask questions. We keep having these awkward moments where neither of us knows how to navigate the different practices without making the other feel wrong or excluded.
