Maturity In Marriage

"Mum, I have a new queen now, I need you to accept and respect that. This will not change how I feel about you and you should be proud of how I treat her because you brought me up well."


This was what a 25-year old groom said to his mother who thought she could dictate and approve who he marries.

He took charge and put her in her place. Sometimes, I wonder if maturity is about age? Ofcourse age plays a role in maturity,  but not in all cases as I have seen men in 40s still acting immature especially in decision making.

A lot of wives complain of some overbearing attitude of their mother in laws and their hubby is torn between the two special women in his life. Lost at how to handle it, sometimes,  they become over burdened and take it out on their wives which might  lead to the end of the marriage.

Let your mother know her place, appreciate , respect and accept your wife,  then that singular act will unlock the love from wife to mother in law.

Ladies please enter your marriage with a clean mind to make it your home and Mothers please have an open mind to let your daughter inlaw in, also help your child to 'leave and cleave' as instructed by God. Let them make their own mistakes, don't predict evil where there is none.

If it aren't broken, don't fix it.
