RE: Open Happiness (Week 3): Touching lives through Selfless Giving!
Good evening @focusnow. This is an interesting topic.
Well for me i dont think it is proper for a newly wed man to take his wife to his parents house to live together with them with my following reasons:
*At that stage the newly wedded needs space and time to really mingle and know them selves better without interference from anyone especially relatives.
*Some parents especially from the groom side would want to be in control of what happens in the marriage thereby intruding.
*Most times respect is lost, both from the married wife and from the parents
I dont have a personal experience but i have had friends who are married discuss this matter and it didnt end well..
Really? So going by this, its a bad idea. What if that is the only thing the proposing guy has, should a lady reject it because of that alone?
Yes its a bad idea. A man should be ready for marriage before getting into it o.
But lets say thats the only option then they should tread with caution
Sir the thing is our culture looks at any man that takes his wife to live with his parents as one who is not responsible
Even the scripture does not even support a man living with his parents after marriage. The scripture says "Therfore a man will leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife"
Oh I see. culturally and scripturally its wrong. Thats nice. Now what if something happened (maybe the man lost his job) and that is the only option. Will you say no to the man you love because of that reason?
Sir is not the question here. Anyways if such circumstance should occur i would prefer to stay with a friend closeby and sort things out. There is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. Going to the parents house will be the last option if need be
