      Here goes (in jest but may be for real, i will never know till i have to ask):


      Qn1: Are you the only son? If yes, proceed to Qn2.
      Qn2: Is your mother still around? 😉 If yes, proceed to Qn 3.
      Qn3: Is your mother the matriach in your family? If yes, Thank you for your interest! I am sorry to inform you that you have not been selected. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavours!

        hmmm.... when i was getting married and doing the preps for the wedding, my mum told my hub to be, that he would have to do the tea ceremony at her place first, not after i returned in the later part of the day.

        then she also requested that at the wedding banquet, both sets of parents to sit at the same vip table.

        initially, my hub was like \"huh? but the rule is not like that one. tea ceremony at the bride's home only happens after she returns. and there are 2 vip tables for 2 sets of parents. \"

        my mum went on to explain that it is only respectful to serve tea before taking her daughter away and to sit both sets of parents together at one vip table is to show that the 2 families are now one. the other vip table is for the elders of both families.

        i realised then that yeah, its respect more than anything else.

        i married the \"only son\" and of course, i have my moments with my in laws (i live with them) but it is important that parents know their place too.

        given how things look these days - families having 1 boy and 1 girl structure, how many of our daughters will have to marry the \"only son\"?

        i have an uncle and he has 1 son and 1 daughter. Once over some family gathering, he mentioned that if his son's gf comes over and help out often in his family eg: during festive seasons or family gatherings. it means that she is fr a good family and his son can marry her. then i asked, what abt your daughter? will she do the same? and his reply was \"how can? if my daughter has to be the maid of her bf's family, i will never let her marry him.\"

        moment of truth! what we receive, we must be prepared to give.

        right?

          When I asked permission for my wife’s hand, my PIL never asked any questions. Instead they gave their blessings but took the opportunity to share what they thought was the "most important" thing in our lives going forward - to have common faith !


          I’m one of those fortunate ones to have PILs, whom I have tremendous respect for. As a matter of fact, I’m very grateful to them, for what they stand for, for what they believe, and how they conduct their lives.

                  It is best to make her do an online survey. The website should also be able to plot charts of GF1 against GF2 against GF3 etc. Also do not forget to assign weightage points to different questions.
