Ways To Encourage And Creat Bond Between New Bride And In-Laws!
Lists some of the more practical ways to encourage and create a loving bond between a new bride and her new family.
#1 pre-marital counseling
Modern couples often visit a counselor suggested by online matrimonial sites, but more often than not they end up being agony aunts. It’s best to consult a professional counselor who can analyse their personalities and suggest specific tips to create a loving bond.
“This would help erase any negativity against the new family that they may have heard or learnt from society.
#2 more maturity on husband’s part
The husband must take the responsibility of not discriminating between his mother and wife. Similarly, the girl must take the responsibility of understanding and adjusting to her new environment without any preconceived notions.
#3 longer adjustment phase
Adequate adjustment is needed by both- the new bride and the in-laws. This phase is not only for the daughter-in-law to learn more about the new family but also for the new family to learn more about their daughter-in-law.
“spending time in letting the daughter-in-law know of certain rules or ways to go about things, is one important way. Give her the time to adjust and not be in a hurry.
#4 greater interaction between families
The best way to generate camaraderie and love between two families or persons is to interact in uncommon scenarios.
“families should go out and try to find out about each other’s likes or dislikes. They should also engage in fun activities together. This will create a loving bond and they will get to know each other better.
#5 express yourself
Develop ways to communicate your feelings, whether it’s with your husband or the mother-in-law.
“if you live in a joint family and want to share something with your husband in private, then plan an outing and talk it out. This will help you vent out your thoughts and also give you an opportunity to understand your partners’ opinion on the matter.
While these are issues that many Indian women may face, let’s not forget that there are many in-laws who still believe that a daughter-in-law is very much like a daughter.
They do not like to discriminate and in fact, generate a bond of love and friendship with their newest family member.
