How can I navigate cultural differences in a relationship?

Cultural differences are common in relationships. They can affect views about dating, family, communication, religion, gender roles and relationships. Cultural differences do not mean a relationship does not work.

Open and respectful communication can help prevent misunderstandings. Take the time to learn about each other’s backgrounds, healthy relationships respect both partners’ identities, cultures and beliefs.
