Every women in this world hopes that her marriage will cherish and her husband will love her till death does them apart. And marriage will be the strongest bond you have ever forged. It needs caring, pampering, watching over. Little things can disturb it. So, the best way to go about things is to prioritize them.
Remember always:
Don't force him to choose between you and his mother, she has equal rights if not more. You both are equally important to him.
Try and follow your mother in law because each house has its own time table a-way of doing things. By following you both can understand each other well.
Be very careful with relatives because many a time these are ones who cause the most problems with mischievous and thoughtless comments.
The way you conduct yourself in the initial years of your marriage- and this goes for both the daughter in- law and the mother in- law, will determine their future relationships.
No matter what people say about empowerment, its important to control your own money.
What ever is the problem deal within the four walls of your bedroom. That is the only way you retain respect and love for each other.
No need to fight and be territorial, work out the ground rules and find a solution.
Give of yourself and you will get in return.
