What If My Family Doesn’t Accept My Partner?” (Interracial Couple Q&A) | Cultural Chemistry #11

In this episode of Cultural Chemistry, Josh and Jayda answer your most pressing questions about what it’s really like to be in a multicultural and interracial relationship. From navigating family rejection to unpacking personal habits, this Q&A goes deep into the real, raw challenges couples face—and how to overcome them with honesty and compassion.

They talk about the pain of being unaccepted by family, how to hold boundaries without burning bridges, and what it means to stand in love without needing approval. They also get into blaming culture for bad behavior, feeling excluded by language barriers, code-switching around family, porn habits, and what to do when you feel like the only one holding the relationship together.

Josh and Jayda introduce the D.N.A. Rule—Define, Never Assume, Ask—as a simple but powerful communication framework to avoid misalignment. Through humor, vulnerability, and lived experience, this episode invites couples to co-create emotionally safe relationships that feel honest, respectful, and aligned.

If you’re in an intercultural relationship—or curious about the dynamics of one—this episode offers truth, tools, and validation you won’t find anywhere else.
