Cultural differences create conflict in a relationship from "summary" of 2 States: The Story of My Marriage (Movie Tie-In Edition) by Chetan Bhagat
Krish and I were in love, but our relationship was not without its challenges. One of the biggest obstacles we faced was our cultural differences. I was a Punjabi girl, while Krish was a Tamilian boy. Our families came from completely different backgrounds, with contrasting customs, traditions, and beliefs. From the very beginning, our cultural disparities created tension between us. Our families had strong opinions about our relationship, and they were not shy about expressing them. They had expectations and prejudices based on their own cultural norms, which made it difficult for us to find common ground. Our differing upbringings also played a role in our conflicts. I was used to a more liberal and outspoken environment, while Krish's family was more conservative and traditional. This led to misunderstandings and disagreements on how we should conduct ourselves in various situations. As we tried to navigate our relationship, we realized that our cultural differences were not just about food, language, or festivals. They ran much deeper, influencing our values, beliefs, and priorities. We had to confront our own biases and prejudices, as well as those of our families, in order to move forward. Despite our love for each other, the cultural divide often seemed insurmountable. It forced us to confront difficult questions about our identities, our families, and our future together. We had to decide whether we were willing to compromise, adapt, or even sacrifice certain aspects of our cultural heritage in order to be together. In the end, our journey taught us that love alone is not always enough to overcome cultural differences. It requires open communication, empathy, and a willingness to learn and grow together. We had to find a way to bridge the gap between our worlds, without losing sight of who we were and where we came from. Our relationship was a testament to the power of love in the face of adversity, and the importance of understanding and respecting each other's cultural backgrounds.
