As a married couple, a lot of things have changed for you; and these are 3 cardinal rules you should never break if you intend to make and keep being friends with other married people.
Chill, don’t rush me. I know you need this blog post. Know why? As a married couple, you somehow begin to create ‘small-small’ distance between you and your single people.
Other married people now kind of ‘welcome’ you into the married circle. It feels like you have been promoted to a different level, and now not only do you want to make friends that you have things in common with, but you want to learn how not to cut threads, especially if you are the younger couple.
That is why you have this blogpost here today. If you are unmarried, you should be grateful; as that means you have no error to correct. You’d have this knowledge from the onset.
NEVER DISCUSS POLITICS
This is as old as I can remember. From when I started boarding public transport on my own, I was warned never to get involved in any talk especially ones relating to politics.
This is one mistake you should avoid as a married couple. I think this also pass even when you’re unmarried.
You may be for APC or PDP, or you may be a democrat or republican, but no one needs to know.
NEVER DISCUSS RELIGION
If there’s any saying I can never forget, is that of Karl Marx, who said that, “Religion is the opium of the masses.”
This one is also another that has been there since the beginning of time, why would you discuss religion with another person that is not a family member?
I mean even church too, no need discussing or critiquing.
NEVER TEACH THEM HOW TO RAISE THEIR KIDS
This one I had to recently learn. As a married couple, before you even got married, you’d have had mental images of how you want your kids to look like, dress, behave.
If you see another parent’s children misbehaving, you correct and reprimand them. You do not go on telling them how to raise their kids.
Trust you’ve learnt something today!
