It is in your place to protect your wife from your mother especially when you see some of these things begin to play out.

One of the mistakes that some men make is the feeling or thought that their mothers cannot be or portray a certain character. A wise man will know from the first visit the extent of which his family has welcomes or accepted his wife to be. You should know if there are some assumed opinions about the supposed lady, you should know if your mother is trying to be hard on her and when she is over-doing it, even if your mother is a prayer warrior, don’t be blind on this. The percentage of women who can give love to their daughter-in-law as if she is their biological daughter is not up to 50%.

Some mothers will still want their own sons as if they are babies and control their decisions, while young wives want to love and also own their husbands, hence the conflict begins. Sometimes the relationship between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law can connect immediately, while at some other times, the relationship build over time, but you see, the later will need you as a man to be wise in your dealings with both parties.

Don’t assume that your wife should take it as correction when your mother publicly embarrasses her.

Don’t assume that your wife should understand your mother when she is passing comments that devalue her. She smiles before her and uses your dialect to say something against her. But you let it pass. Don’t be blind to this sir; nicely correct your mothers when you hear things that are not about your wife. Apply the distance rule; don’t talk or complain about your wife to your mother. Divide the mother that you want to send to your mother into two, send part and give your wife the other part to send to her.

A good wife will not dishonour your mother and it is your duty as a man to protect your wife until your mother and your wife have a stable relationship with each other.
