LOVE TIPS ❤
1) Research about Them.
Know what to expect,
Ask your partner about their culture, how they greet over there, don’t go and say “Hi, good Afternoon Everybody” when they expect you to probably kneel to greet.
You could learn how to greet in their language too (if you are from a different tribe), your in-laws will be happy to know you are trying to learn their ways.
Reseach about the people you’ll be meeting, so you don’t say things that may embarrass or offend anyone, like if her elder brother lost his wife, don’t go and ask him “how’s your wife”, that you weren’t aware will not be an excuse, they may instantly dislike you.
Don’t go to your in-laws place for the first time unprepared.
First Impression goes a Long way.
2) Dress Well
As a Lady, don’t dress like you want to seduce all the Men in his family, even if short skirts is your trade, try and dress well that day,
Dress decently, don’t be going to visit a Mother-in-law to be who believes deeply in decent dressing and then dress exposing your cleavages and laps, before you hear “My Son, let me have a word with you inside”
As a young Man, dress responsibly, don’t dress like a gateman to see your in-laws, don’t wear rumpled clothes, or wear shoes that look like what a tailor made..
You will be ADDRESSED the way you DRESS
3) Try not to go without a Gift
Don’t go empty handed, it may sound cliche, but don’t ignore it.
Your gift should be tailor made to suit them, don’t just buy any gift you like, the father or mother may have allergies, dislikes, so ask your spouse what best to buy for their parents,
Don’t buy for instance, alcoholic wine to a pentecostal Christian Family as gift, you would have failed exam even before you got the question papers that way.
If their father or mother were a writer, a leather jotter or notepad will be a perfect gift.
Please don’t be cheap, don’t buy bread by the road side to present to your in-laws,. We are in the 21st century.
