Marriage is the biggest moment in one’s life. It’s difficult for a bride to get adjusted to a new environment, around new people and get adapted to the new way of living. It’s natural to feel excited and nervous prior to your wedding day thinking how would you be able to manage everything with a subtle smile and handle everything with patience. Just like you, your mother is also worried as you are going to enter in a new phase of life. Though she has brought you up and guided you at every step, there are some significant life lessons you mother wants to share with you before you walk down the aisle and begin a whole new chapter with your life partner.

• Encounter the first year of your marriage with patience

Although initial days of your marriage would be full of eye gazing, talking sweet nothing whole night and confessing your love for each other but first year of your married life will be little difficult as both of you are going to share your lives together. Be patient..mould yourself to new changes and see how your life become a smooth sailing.

• Treat your in-laws with same affection and respect that you want your husband to give your parents

Needless to say, that your in-laws are extended members of your new family. They would have different habits, interests and distinctive way of living and doing things. It might happen that sometimes you may not feel ‘at home’ with them but don’t disrespect their customs and particular ways of doing things. Let the time pass and fondness grow naturally but till then give enough respect you demand from your husband for your parents.

• Do not reveal family secrets

Be sensitive and you must know what to spill or what not. I am not saying that you should stop talking with us. Do share what’s happening in your life with us. But be a little cautious. Don’t reveal things to another party which are only meant for your ears like financial issues or topics which may melt bitterness between both the families.

• Know how to do household chores

Your mother-in-law may not be asking for your help now but there may be times when she is sick or out of the house due to any reason. During those times, you must know that you are capable of taking responsibilities on your shoulder to run the house by executing and finishing all the domestic issues with perfection.

• Spare little time for you

As soon as a bride steps into a new home, she completely devotes herself to look out her husband, and take care of her in-laws and other family members. There is nothing wrong in it but don’t forget to spare little time for you from a busy schedule to pursue your dreams, passions, hobbies and interests. It is for your own good. Don’t leave your individuality behind in forming new relationships.

• Fall in more love with your partner with each passing day

It’s a recipe to build a strong bond between both of you. Make sure to build a happy life together with each passing day. Respect your partner space. Fall in love. Make your vows after mutual discussion with your spouse. Support and stand by your partner through thick and thin.

• Value every relationship

Priorities change once you get married. You may need more time at this stage to form a healthy bond with your life partner and other family members but don’t forget your friendships, and other relationships as each and every person have its own importance in your life.

• I am always here for my angel

Whatever may be the reason for your breakdown, you can always call me up at any time of the day. Remember, you are free to come at home whenever you get tired of acting like a matured adult. You can be a kid again in my solace. Don’t worry…you always have my back, may what come.
