I had watched my brother get married to the love of his life and the relationship between her and my mum was too beautiful. I saw how my mum adored her, how she went all out for her and took her into the family like her own daughter.
My father also took her as his daughter, he would call, check up on her, defend her and all of that. I was pleased with this, and it gave me more confidence and hope that Iâd have a mother in my mother in law and a father in my Father in-law whenever marriage came .
When I met my parents in law, I was wowed. They actually prepared for my visit like a Queen was coming. They were just checking me out and giving the cutest compliments.
His sister told me that she had been waiting for who her brother would marry and she isnât disappointed at all, and that she is glad to have another sister now . ( she is his only sister).
His dad gave me money when I was leaving and wouldnât stop praying. I was so happy about all of these and I got home to narrate everything to my folks.
My mum said: âMo ti gbadura wipe ibujoko gidi ni Olorun maa ba mi se fun e, ( Iâve always prayed that God grants you a peaceful home), You deserve itâ
Fast forward to after we got married. One day, my husband and I had a quarrel and I called her to report him.
We had promised each other to never involve our parents with our quarrels because weâd always settle and it may have a lasting effect on them, but this particular day, I was very displeased with him so I called her.
She was very worried, she called him immediately and told him to apologize to me. She kept calling me and begging me, I was being adamant and saying I wouldnât talk to him ( I am stubborn, I know). She chastised him a lot and warned him to never again do what would hurt me.
At a point, she called my Oriki and said: âSaanu mi, Omo mi, jo bami dari Jin (Have mercy on me, my daughter, please forgive him)â.  I couldnât be mad anymore when she said it, she was almost at the verge of tears.  I forgave my man and embraced him. Abi what more did I want? 
This experience really made me feel good and I became the more determined that Iâd give this woman the world if I could.
There are lots of instances where his parents have come through for me. I can boldly n confidently say that they have my back, I can always count on them. They have taken me w all my flaws and imperfections, n they never hesitate to let me know they are glad their son chose me.
I make sure to play my part too in all of these. I cherish them very much and I always show it to them. I encourage my man to be there for them and to be the best son he can be.
They arenât the demanding type, so I make sure to push him to provide for them to the best of his ability, n to treat them w kindness. I get them gifts as often as I can, I respect them loudly, n I never act as if Iâm in competition with them on who is more important to my man.
When I had my baby, my MIL did my laundry including my Lochia stained panties. She cared for the baby so well and never argued with me when I said I wanted things done a particular way.
She was so strong and present for us, I felt at home with her, and that is how I still feel, at home. My FIL is a whole amazing vibe on his own and he is the real children lover, he possesses so many beautiful traits and so on. Fam, these people still get me gifts and money.
From his side, he is my mumâs cute son. They are very close and they even sometimes gossip about me ( donât mind them). He and my dad support the same football club so it âs always bants with them.
I donât want to say too much because he is in a better position to speak of his experience, but from my perspective, I see happiness and great vibes among them.
I have so many things to say, but this is long enough already and I donât want to bore you. I pray that every woman who seeks a home, finds a beautiful one, and that she meets in-laws who will take her as theirs.Â
Be positive, be willing to be good yourself, and pray.
