This is rule number one- the homework and research work to acquaint yourself to the new bride. To make her easily adapt to the new life, you need to understand her first.

Also, make an effort to talk about how she would like to spend her free time. Your sister-in-law will definitely feel lighter at her sasural.

At the initial stage of marriage she might not grab the basics at unfamiliar place. So, it’s crucial for you to be her support and offer her a helping hand wherever possible. Be with her while she is doing the chores, decors, laundry, budget and other things related to your family. Be available for her.

#4. Respect her values

It’s usually the girl who is expected to make changes and adjustments. But she has a life of her own and her own values which you got to respect. You need to realise that every individual has their own set of rules and can have their own outlook and viewpoints. Acknowledge them to balance the relationship.

Be it a family discussion, thought-sharing, suggestions or a casual talk; the new bride will find it awkward to communicate. Just take some responsibility and set the tone for the ‘talk’. This is necessary and required for her to open up and mingle. After all, she is a different person from a different background and might find it difficult to present her thoughts. Be a friendly-figure and provide those ‘opening words’.

#6. Keep it normal

See, it’s natural for you to show all that love and affection to your sister-in-law, but at the same time it’s harmful to be extra sweet and nice. Extra care and concern will make her feel like a guest. Be the person you are and avoid overindulgence. Why to create a set-up which may not be the case later on? So, let the bond to develop in a natural way. Don’t forget that ‘good terms’ won’t establish overnight.

The wedding is over and now it’s time for the get-togethers, outings and dinner with her. But what about the bride who is facing post-wedding blues like exhaustion, isolation, a sinking feeling, and sadness and has no idea how to cope?  So, we suggest you to take things slow. The post-wedding parties sound thrilling, but she might not be in a right frame of mind to attend them all. Have patience and schedule the events in consultation with her. Don’t push it for her.

#8. No remarks please

She has just entered and will take time to understand the change. So, if things go out of order from her end, store them in your mind to be talked about later. It’s not constructive to throw remarks at a person you have just known. Things she is not handling the way they are supposed to, can be discussed in a polite way. Remember, she won’t learn to adapt things in a day’s time.

She is a part of family now but also the girl who has married your brother. So, the focus should be on her relationship with her husband. At the beginning, it’s her life partner that she can rely on for the security, comfort and warmth. So, try and carve out some time for her to be with her husband. She will be appreciative if she is allowed to spend quality time with him and know her better half in a whole new way. Arrange for a lavish dinner or pre-book a movie for them.
