Their love story is a testament to the resilience of their relationship and the power of family unity.
The Children

The Challenges from In-Laws
The couple’s relationship faced a significant challenge when Paulus’ relatives began to expect financial contributions, straining their already stretched resources. This created a rift between Paulus and Lucina, nearly leading to divorce. However, their love for each other, their unwavering Catholic faith and their commitment to their family prevailed.
Overcoming Obstacles in Cultural Differences
To strengthen their family bond and preserve their cultural heritage, Paulus and Lucina have made a conscious effort to teach their children both Nauruan and Melpa, in addition to Tok Pisin. This has allowed Robert and Drusilla to appreciate the richness of their parents’ cultures and develop a sense of belonging to both Papua New Guinea and Nauru.
Conclusion
Paulus and Lucina’s story is a beautiful example of how love, understanding, and resilience can overcome cultural differences and challenges. Their commitment to their family, their community, and their cultural heritage serves as an inspiration to others, demonstrating that even in the face of adversity, it is possible to find harmony and happiness.
