I had a conversation with someone about marriage and the relationship a lot of women have with their mothers in-law and I was shocked at some things I heard, “Tekena, I can’t get married to a man if his mother is still alive, I don’t want any issues in my home in the future“… Society has made quite a number of people (women especially), tag their mothers in-law as enemies of their marriages… But rather than wish the woman was dead, isn’t there a possibility that you all could get married and still stay away from your mother in-law? Is it wise to talk to your partner about their toxic, offensive parent (mother)? Ladies would you be like my friend who says she wouldn’t get married to any man, no matter how deep the love, if his mother is still alive?

Lol.. well, this is a very critical issue in relationships and marriages, I had seen a movie sometime about it.
Well, I think there are ways around it, the mother inlaw must not be dead, however, the couple should find a way around it.
The husband must first accept the reality of his mother’s character else he wouldn’t be willing to find out ways of helping his wife out of the crisis with his mom.
Finally, the wife should be mature and rational enough to separate a wicked woman from a woman that has grown to love her son and is having a difficult time letting him go. She must carry patience and understanding as a virtue backed up with wisdom.
In the end, they should all seek counselling, there are tailored courses to manage inlaw relationships now.
Thanks.
