Food, Faith, and Family

These are the Big Three.

Food

One of you loves spicy, the other eats bland. One is vegan, the other loves steak. Compromise is the menu. Try everything once.

Faith

Interfaith relationships require deep respect. You don’t have to convert, but you must support their holidays. Celebrating both Christmas and Eid/Hanukkah/Diwali just means more parties!

Family Expectations

In some cultures, family is everything (you marry the family). In others, independence is key. Discuss boundaries early.
