1#Remember.
The first one month of your marriage will be a surprise journey. No matter how long you’ve been in a relationship with your man or no matter how many times you’ve visited his house, the fact that now you are married has overtaken all other meetings. So-
- Try to wake up early if possible and keep certain works ahead like adjusting the drawing room, organising the breakfast, keeping the clothes ready to be sent for dry cleaning. By doing this, you are actually saving your time and if you are a working lady, keeping things ready before hand will save your time. Thus you can avoid any kind of future conflicts or issues.
- Try to keep in mind about your in-law’s favourites and diets (If any). Like, how much sugar your father-in-law puts in his tea, or what is that your mother-in-law haves for her breakfast. In short, know about the likings of all your family members and be in good terms with them.

2#Always stay clean
By this I mean,
- dusting your bed after you wake up in the morning
- keeping the bathroom dry after every shower
- putting the towels in place
- arranging the cushions in the drawing room
- keeping your husband’s files and wallet in place
- keeping your office works or important files in place
- taking care of your in-law’s medicines ad even keeping an extra file ready for emergency
- maintaining a diary to jot down points and emergency numbers, etc. In short, be organised so that you get all the things when you need them.
3#Maintain a diary or prefer stick on’s
These paper stick-on’s are really helpful in remembering things. I use it daily for my daily activities. Be it that small grocery purchase or that last minute guest invitation, stick on’s are really useful. Write those points to remember and stick it on the place where you know you will notice all the time. Like, in your mirror or in the refrigerator. This will allow you to ensure a good habit of never forgetting things and always keeping them in your mind.

4#Your job is important, but your family is important too
I totally support working after marriage and as a woman, I would love to continue my job even after getting married. I love my ambitions and would never sacrifice those unless needed to. But, that doesn’t mean I will take less care of my family. See, keeping a maid is totally fine, but at times even your beloved husband would love to enjoy a breakfast made by you. Your caring mom-in-law and father-in-law would wish to enjoy that evening snacks and the cup of coffee made by their daughter-in-law.
Marriage is not like how we think it to be, it is much more beautiful. Maintaining your job, focussing on your ambition, all are necessary, but, try to take that extra time out for your family too. Baking that Sunday cake, cooking that Tuesday lunch, preparing that Friday dinner, all are important and more that important, these things are those small beautiful moments which will stay with you forever.
