Useful tips.
When it comes to marriage, there is no specific recipe for creating happiness or harmony, but one thing is for sure - it is desirable to have as good a relationship as possible with the partne's parents, family members.
One of the most important issues in a happy marriage is mutual respect.
Most readers will agree that it is better to live alone, independently, although for a number of reasons this is a luxury for some married couples.
Of course, the desire for a healthy relationship must be on both sides, and only one-sided effort is futile.
Some methods may help:
- Always remain polite
- Show her that you know your please and thank you.
- Never ever talk badly about her son in any way no matter how comfortable you may be feeling about sharing things with her. She is his mother after all and all you will get is her protective mother instincts (or claws) if you ever talk badly about your partner.
- Compliment her. Mother-in-laws love a good compliment and they will never tire of it! So, when she cooks or organizes something be sure to let her know great she is.
- Ask for her advice in life. Doing this will show her how much you respect and value her opinion. This will really make her feel like you appreciate her say and there is nothing better for a mother-in-law than knowing her future daughter-in-law actually wants to know her opinions on things that matter.
- Always offer help. Whenever she is trying to do something for the family or around the house, do offer to help even though you may think she doesn't need it. It is always a great gesture to offer and it will show her how much you are
- trying to be in involved.
- Act like you like her at all times! Even if you actually can't stand her for one bit it still does not give you an excuse to be unfriendly or displeasing in any way. This is your partner's mother; you cannot escape her so it is best to just put on that friendly face of yours and act like you like her.
- Prepare dinner together.
- Talk About Your Partner’s Childhood. There can often be a weird, underlying sense of competition between you and your partner’s mother. They raised them and knew them way back when, but chances are that you’re the most important
- person in your partner’s life now. Give a nod to the fact that your mother-in-law has been there since the beginning by asking about your partner’s childhood, looking at old photos, and maybe even swapping embarrassing stories about
- your partner. It’s a good way to show that you understand how important their relationship and history is, which can go a long way.
- What is your mother-in-laws hobby? Maybe he likes gardening or is engaged in yoga. Take part in her favorite activity - the mother-in-law will be happy too, you will be happy too.
