What to do if your parents reject your spouse

Have you ever introduced your spouse to your parents?

Did they like him or her?

The truth is it is not uncommon for parents to dislike the partner their child has chosen..

Some of the reasons might be financial, tribal, or family feuds.

According to Sam West here is what to do when your parents don’t like your spouse.

Try and understand their concerns

Before getting angry try and talk to your parents and understand why they do not like your spouse.

They might have a valid reason for doing so. The person might even be related to you.

Have a heart-to-heart conversation

Show them a side of your partner that they do not know as you know him/her more than they do.

Give them time

Once you have talked to your parents, give them time ti weigh the pros and the cons of the relationship.

Seek outside support

These can be close family members who know your spouse.

They can help in trying to convince your parents to change their stand.
