A lot of people tend to find their relationship with their in-laws very tricky and challenging. However, there are some ground rules that can help you easily win your in-laws’ hearts. Yes, sometimes in-laws can give you hard times and can be quite difficult to get along with, but always remember that if you manage to maintain a stable healthy relationship with them, you’ll guarantee your spouse’s happiness and yours!! Here are 6 pieces of advice to win their hearts:
1-Respect them
Respect should go both ways. You should treat your in-laws as if they’re your own parents. You should never speak to them in a rude way and or talk behind their backs.
2-Never consider them your enemy
A lot of people, especially newly weds, consider their in-laws to be their worst enemies even before meeting them for the first time. Consequently, whatever their in-laws do, they take it the wrong way and think that they mean to hurt them. Always give them the benefit of doubt.
3-Call them frequently
Call them, check up on them and even go out with them. Befriend your in-laws and try to talk to them about their work, their day or whatever they feel like sharing with you.
4-Give them meaningful compliments
You can usually get to any Egyptian woman through her ears! Whether you’re her son-in-law or daughter-in-law, shower 7amatek/7amatak with compliments and you’ll definitely win her heart. Tell her she lost weight, tell her “teslam eidek.. the food is great”, and things like that. Don’t need to remind you about the social media photos, shower them with that!!
5-Don’t forget to celebrate special events with them
If it’s Mother’s day, call your mother-in-law first thing in the morning and remind your spouse to call your mother too. If it’s their birthday, make it a special one for them. If it’s their wedding anniversary, make sure you remember it. Greet them for “3eed ta7reer seena” too.
6-Help them out
As much as you can, try to help them out, with things around the house, with errands or with information they need. They’ll definitely appreciate it.
