Monica received porcelain dolls from her mother-in-law, Lina, for years. Not knowing their significance, she stored them away until her husband, Andy, discovered them. Horrified, Andy burned the dolls, explaining they were meant to cleanse the home of negative energy. Monica confronted Lina, who emphasized the importance of understanding their cultural traditions. Realizing the importance of cultural knowledge, Monica and Andy became more open about their traditions, strengthening their relationship. They now embrace each other’s customs, fostering understanding and closeness. The experience taught Monica the importance of cultural awareness in relationships.
