A MOTHER-SON RELATIONSHIP: MY MOTHER IN-LAW AND I…

source

Love is sweet and beautiful when it’s shared with the right person and it is being appreciated and reciprocated. Relationship becomes beautiful and sweet when you are with the right partner, and the right partner will always stand by you not just in tough times but also during sweet times. Marriage becomes sweet and lasting when the knot is tied with the right partner and that to in the right situation, marriage becomes extremely beautiful and would last forever if the relationship between his or her respective in-laws is strong and stable…

There is a saying that goes like this in marriages; a wife doesn’t just marry her husband, she marries him and his whole family, which means his family is also your responsibility, this saying isn’t just one sided as it also applies to the husband, you marry your wife and the whole of her nuclear family, things like these are meant to be equal in a love marriage…

I know this might sound funny and silly to some people reading this post, especially with the fact that all these words are coming out from an unmarried fella. Well, that’s true, I might not be married yet but then I will be married someday, and the knowledge i have about all these things is quite beyond human comprehension, i have seen movies, witnessed a lot of marriages in reality and attended a couple of marriage counseling classes, these are what I’ve done in the past, and that is where the little knowledge i have on marriages and relationships hails from…

I have been able to maintain my relationship with my partner for 4 years, there have been a lot of ups and downs within this four years and here we still are, and if all goes well and we are destined for each other i believe something great is bound to happen later on. My relationship has been able to stand the test of time because of all these teachings, and that is because I practice what I learn and not just hear them for fun…

I know movies don’t picture them well enough, and that we are mostly shown what we want to see in those movies and not shown the harsh realities of marriages, especially when it’s about the relationship between one’s partner and their in-laws; the mother-in-law to be precise…

I don’t think a quality bond can be formed with one’s partner if he or she isn’t in good relationship with their spouse’s in-laws, especially the mother-in-law. I have seen how mother-in-laws can be in real life and movies, the truth is that the mother-in-law picture in movies is very much different from the ones in reality, they aren’t always bad and naggy like we see in movies. Some mother-in-laws are sweet, caring, supportive, and loving to their son or daughter-in-law. We also have some who are far from all these, we have both type in the real world, we just need to pray for a good and sweet in-law and not the version we see in movies, especially the yoruba nollywood movies, I’m sure you don’t want an in-law like that 😂…

I am still quite young but not too young to get married, if only money wasn’t an issue i probably would have been married by now and left the unmarried group 😂. I am not married yet but then i will be married someday. If i am to marry someday, i will be marrying not just my wife but also her family, these includes are siblings and parents…

I won’t stand a chance to marry my partner if I don’t form a good relationship with her parents, this is to tell you how important the relationship between a son-in-law or daughter-in-law and the parents-in-law is, if you don’t have a good reputation before them there is no marriage happening between you and their child…

I don’t have a mother-in-law yet but then I know i will have one someday in the future. I want the relationship between my mother-in-law and i to be like that of a mother and child, i want a mother-in-law who will be very supportive of not just her daughter but also her son-in-law…

I want the relationship between my motherin-law to be solid and filled with love, trust, respect and understanding, a mother-in-law who i can run to when I’m bothered with worries and fears, if my parents aren’t available to help me, I want my mother-in-law to be the next best option to run to…

In summary, I know how hard it is to maintain a relationship, but then I believe with transparency, love, respect, understanding and trust everything is bound to work out fine and good. Maintaining a healthy relationship with one’s partner is a big challenge itself, not to talk more of that of her parents, it would take God and hard work😂…

In conclusion, since I don’t have a mother in-law yet, i have just analyzed and revealed how i would want the relationship between my mother-in-law and i to be…

NB; this is my entry to the inleo monthly prompt day 26 titled the the relationship between my mother-in-law and i, you should participate in this prompt…
