MY MOTHER-IN-LAW

MY MOTHER -IN -LAW

written and produced by Gloria Bamiloye.

2 scenarios where presented.

1.  Lady A's  future mother-in-law was quite a character,she was protective of her son which is normal but to an annoying degree, with some irrelevant remarks,borderline  insulting questions,attitudes,all that.

Lady A did not like it but she did not also bring it up as an issue,always dismissing it, meanwhile her  plan was to mellow down, marry him,then reciprocate her own attitude to her mother-in-law.(awon gang of "let me get my husband first and I will change it for you".) Yes she did get married to him,then the drama started.

2. Lady B's fiancee's  mother was totally against the wedding and marriage because of the very infamous "you are not from our place"or "we don't marry from so,so place" battle. This woman was outrightly insulting, condescending and hurtful.

In such situations what will you do ,how will you react?

Lady A did what any woman would have done,while B reacted as a woman who has Jesus in her.(watch it to know how).

Watching this movie honestly broke me,unconsciously we might have picked up an attitude of "no one should dare cross me or they will have me to answer to",or "I know my right" kind of thing ,because there are some very subtle issues that we feel it's our right to protest or show our red eye but in this matter of marriage the best way to handle issues is Love. 

1.Begin to see your mother-in-law as your mother and it will change the way you react to her and relate with her.

2.Stop sweeping important issues under the carpet during your courtship period,the dirts will spoil your carpet in marriage,Discuss them now,resolve them now.

3. We are the ones that make up culture tribe,people of a place, no tribe is completely good or totally bad,there is no good culture or bad culture we are the ones that make it that way.stop discriminating against tribe or labelling them bad,making an innocent person suffer the sins he did not commit.

In-lawship has always  been a very tricky subject to discuss ,especially in this climes ,but the troubles in it have trailed us for quite a while.

God desires that we change the narratives and make it a desirable relationship not the war or battle that  is known for.

And It all begins with you.

You can change the narrative.

I'll end with the words of Gloria bamiloye in a recent interview on mother-in-law ship. 

"If you know you are going to get married make up your mind now to love your in-laws .... even if your mother-in-law is a witch,when you walk in God's own way of love,she will bow,that is the power of love,because God himself is love,  so when he says love he means have more of me.However terrible your in-laws may be they will respect that God in you. Love your husband and love his family too."

Please I would love to hear your views on this movie,comments,and lessons.

Hope you took out time to pray last Friday?

God bless you.
