A mother is often an essential figure in the life of an adult daughter. After all, only a woman understands how another woman manages her family. With this context in mind let me share few things which every mother needs to tell her daughter before marriage, in order to make her life comfortable in the new family set up.
Points to remember to make adjustments in the new family:
- To make the change easy for the daughter-in-law, every mother needs to remind her daughter before marriage that when you are entrusted with the delicate task of running a home, you need to make a strong effort to include everyone. You need to remember before making a decision that each member of your household has feelings; it’s not about just you.
- There are different types of people in one family. While some are helpful, others are obstructive. With this teach her not to be too sensitive and not consider everyone an enemy. A mother should ensure that before placing her daughter in the in-laws context, she is prepared to not overreact too much.
- “The first year of marriage is difficult for every girl. Most adjustments have to be made during this time. Hence, as a mother, you need to prepare her mentally for this change. Additionally, remind her that everything changes with time which requires some level of patience to adjust.”
- “Adjusting to a new setting does not mean losing one’s self-value. Hence, prior to her marriage, it is necessary for a mother to educate her daughter about the importance of self-respect.”
- “Having the kindness to forgive and be forgiven is essential. This attribute makes it easier for a girl to adapt to her husband’s family. In this scenario, mothers should encourage their daughters to acknowledge and forgive the mistakes rather than dwelling over them.”
