Meeting your in-laws-Prepare for the unprepared.
Meeting your in-laws-Prepare for the unprepared.
Once you have got over the initial physical meeting of your in-laws, getting to know and relate with each other now begins. This is an ongoing process that could go on forever and even after getting married to your spouse you will still be meeting and knowing more of your in-laws. There is no proper sequence to it. In as much as there probably had been so much preparation towards meeting your in-laws initially, the subsequent visits will mostly come unprepared. So what can you do to prepare for the unprepared? Nothing, but be yourself. Let the light of God shine in you all the time and you will never be caught unaware. Honesty is an important virtue you must have.
An African Proverb says- “The beak of the bird is what tells us the things it eats.”
The biggest trap you can set for yourself that will hunt you later in your marriage is not being honest with your in-laws .This is especially in areas that you feel you have failed or not strived enough in life that has left you weighed down with guilt. It doesn’t matter if you have told your spouse about it before. If your in-laws should ask you about anything do not hold back anything. You can be succinct with some answers but nothing but the truth. THEY WILL ACCEPT YOU MORE AND EASIER IF YOU ARE HONEST.
Moreover, if you say the truth they will trust you as a person with integrity. Any information you hold back about yourself that later comes to their knowledge through an undelegated third party comes with extra pepper and spices that will burn and hurt all involved including you and your spouse. Do not be ashamed to discuss your past. We all have a past, and your in-laws will have a past as well. Who knows maybe it is even that past of yours that you have been able to successfully overcome that would now make a way for you? Don’t feel ashamed to tell the truth.
Lay your foundation right. Be open and honest with your in-laws.
Oh, also remember that the secret weapon to meeting your in-laws is to meet and accept yourself first, then you can now be fully equipped to meet your in-laws.
God bless you.
