5 Things A Woman Must Avoid When Meeting  Her In-Laws For The First Time

Published

on

Meeting your fiancé’s parents or other in-laws for the first time can be a nerve-racking experience. It’s important to make a good impression and not give them any reason to dislike you because having a bad relationship with them will affect your marriage negatively.

Never talk too much

Strike a balance between being polite and engaging in conversation. Ask questions about your in-laws’ lives, hobbies, and interests. Listen attentively and avoid dominating the conversation. Remember that the more you talk, the more likely you are to say something stupid.

Never refuse to do chores

Subtly ask your partner before the meeting what they will expect or ask your in-laws if there’s anything you can do to help. If they decline, graciously accept their hospitality.

Never dress indecently

The first thing people access is your dressing. Avoid overly casual clothes, revealing clothing, or anything that may be culturally insensitive.  Though you may not need to   be extreme, there is a need to  appear decent.

Don’t neglect their culture

You might marry into a culture that’s different from yours. The best thing you can do is respect their culture. If they kneel to greet, then do so. Remember, when your partner visits your family, you will want them to respect your own culture. Except that the culture is barbaric and illegal, it takes nothing from you to respect theirs.

Never meet them empty-handed

No matter where you are coming from, always come with a gift. It is bad manners everywhere to visit someone without bringing something along. It doesn’t have to be an elaborate gift since you don’t know them well and you don’t want them to think you are trying to buy their affection. I’ll recommend a food and fruit hamper.
