What is the difference between bride price and dowry?
Bride price is typically paid by the groom or the groom’s family to the bride’s family. Dowry is typically paid by the bride’s family to the bride or to the wedded couple.
Is it hurtful if your in-laws don’t approve of your spouse?
Not only is it hurtful to you that your spouse’s parents (or other relatives) have made it clear that they don’t approve of (or even like) you; it’s also devastating because it creates distance between your spouse and their family. Everyone is human and fallible, and unfortunately, for whatever reason, your in-laws aren’t able to reach out to you.
How can I Make my in-laws accept my marriage?
Create a united front with your spouse and forget about having her approval on every little thing, so hopefully, your in-laws can see who’s in control in this marriage. Surely, you’d love to see your in-laws as an extra set of loving parents in your life, but it will be hard if they aren’t as welcoming as you thought they would be.
What to do when you lose a relationship with your in-laws?
Finally, grieve the loss of that relationship and move on. They may not be your blood relatives, but you probably expected to have, at the very least, an amicable relationship with your in-laws. Grieving is essential to moving on with your life. Over time, it’s possible that things may change.
Should you tell your in-laws everything about your marriage?
