How To Deal With Your In-Laws As A Newlywed!

I’ll admit it, I have great in-laws. What makes them great? They stay out of our marriage. Sure, it’s easier for them because my husband is one of nine children, but it’s something we certainly appreciate nonetheless. I realize though that not everyone is as lucky. However, I also credit my husband with making sure early on that he let my in-laws know that they needed to contact him if they had anything they wanted to share or an event they wanted us to attend.

Why are the days immediately post your marriage important? Because they set expectations. Of what you will do, and will not do. Of how you expect to be treated, and how you will treat others. Newly married young Indian women are often told that if they bend in the beginning, others will come around as time goes on. In my experience, this doesn’t happen – or – it takes too much time to happen. While you didn’t enter your marriage looking for an axe to grind with your in-laws, over the course of your marriage you’ve had cause to question their character and morality. In fact there have been many times that you’ve wished you could just divorce yourself from them. Unfortunately you can’t! So what can you do?

New family relationships can be complicated

Relationships with in laws are one of the most common problem areas for newlyweds; right up there with money and sex. But it shouldn’t surprise you that adjusting to your in-laws, and them to you, might be a major issue. Consider how much time and energy they have spent raising your spouse. It may be very difficult for them to let go and trust that you will be able to provide for his or her needs as well as they have all these years.

Modern day romance The hook up culture

A hook up culture is one of casual dating which may or may not lead to a long term commitment. Messaging and phoning is rampant and to hook up a few conversations gets you into physical intimacy and contact. Talk over a cup of tea makes for a date. Earlier couples used to merit company through the family social circle or a group of friends. Now with the internet boom, social media and Facebook, dating sites have taken over. The individual has become a commodity. A branded site or just an advertisement for various products does the trick. It has become a point of ridicule that dating comes on a mobile app, and true love has indeed become a shopper’s delight. A hook up syndrome has led to a cultural change; just swiping a card and you get a pretty girl to date.
