Most marriage seminar speakers are not married on in stable marriage . Most economists are not rich. Engineers in Nigeria don't build solid homes. Pastors speaking sweet about God are full of fornication, fake and cook up stories, desperation,scam and fraud.

Who is anybody in Nigeria to advise me.

you are absolutely right. Some usually are controlling and want to dictate what happens in the home. The moment you say NO, you become their enemy and they will eventually poison their daughters against you till you divorce her. These kinds of family usually claim your kids
I tell you, you have first hand experience on this. Immediately you say No, they will start manipulating there daughter to hate you or instigate violence. If the daughter is mature enough to resist it, they will declare full blown war on you and your young family. Doing everything to scatter you people. If by any mistake, you come lose your job or business, your own don finish.

You never ready to marry be that because you will continue to run. What if they like you before marriage and hate you after the marriage? The sure deal is to know who you want to marry whether husband or wife. If he is the type that back his words with actions and is no push over, marry him as long as he doesn't live in his parent's house. One man in my town that his family hates the wife just died. He left a Will giving everything to her and the children. Guess what? Everyone hates the woman and now everyone also lost out in the man's fortune because the woman that I know will lock up and not give anyone a kobo from the Will. They hate her but it never stopped her from enjoying her husband and her marriage. Did any family member go to Lagos to disturb her in her husband house? Even when they come back for xmas, will fear let you go their house and tell the man you hate his wife when na xmas money carry you go there. Even a no nonsense poor man will walk you out of his house if you go there to hate on his wife. Forget long talk, I believe in reality. Family can do nothing to marriage when couples are no push overs.
Exactly, if you are lucky to have a wife or husband that's not a push over... Thats victory. The only issue is they will always be throwing bombs here and there like Iran.

That doesn't mean you should reinforce suffering and failure.
Be warned now

You are correct...


Don't overthink it. It's not a big deal. I call my sister's husband Bro and that's what all my other siblings call him. My dad and mom calls him by his name but we can move mountains for him.


Come to think of it, I've never seen anyone call their inlaw "inlaw". It's mostly just a once in a while something[/quote]

When you marry a true adult, family will have zero influence. Family shenanigans can only affect your marriage if you marry a grown baby.

The Family You Marry Into Matters—A Lot

Many people believe that once a man or woman agrees to marry them, that’s all that matters. But that’s far from the truth.

The family you marry into plays a significant role in the peace and quality of your marriage. Some families are deeply problematic. From the moment you say “I do,” the real battle begins—fights, disrespect, abuse, and in some cases, spiritual attacks. Sadly, your own partner may even join forces with their family against you, leaving you isolated, broken, or forced to walk away from the marriage.

On the other hand, if you’re blessed to marry into a family that loves you—especially one where your spouse’s mother embraces you with a kind heart—you are one of the luckiest people on earth. That kind of love and support is rare and precious.

The signs are usually there during courtship. A lady once told me how her mother-in-law swore that she would never allow her to marry her son. She forced her way in, thinking love would conquer all, but since then, it’s been one spiritual and emotional battle after another.

Whether you’re a man or woman, please take this seriously: the family you marry into matters. Some families are just toxic—let me say it plainly, some are evil. And it’s even worse when your partner is either blind to their actions or lacks the courage to defend you.

For me, my wife is a core part of my life and my assignment. Anyone who disrespects or abuses her has automatically done the same to me. I don’t separate her pain from mine.

So choose wisely. Love is not blind—don’t let it blind you to the reality of what you’re stepping into.
Lopsided.

What if the person you marry is the bad one in the family, then you believe you must stand by them, meanwhile they're offending all of their family and you blindly join them to?

Your spouse isn't a saint. Choose your battles carefully.
