In our African tradition, it's normal for relatives to move in with a couple in other to assist with the house chores or to baby sit the kids or in most cases just to have a place to stay. However, when there are too many people in the house, it sometimes interferes with the couple's relationship, communication and sex life may be affected as well (especially if the relatives are the wife's people LOL).
So, is it really helpful to a marriage for relatives to move in with a couple? Or should a new couple avoid it if they can?
Please tell us what you think on this matter....Thanks for leaving your thoughts below;
Somehow yeah
ReplyDeleteIt depends. If the couple owns their house, and the relative(s) stays in the boys quarter, it won't affect much. But to be frank, it does affect how couples relate with each other when there are presence of much relatives around.
ReplyDeleteThere won't be much privacy as needed. And sometimes, the relative may always interfare in the affairs of the couples; knowingly or unknowingly.
I think couples should be left alone.the guy married from the family,he didn't marry the whole family.
ReplyDeleteit all depends on how d couples are...from a christian background,nothing is wrong with it only if d relatives are of good n humble character n d couples hv space for them..y not help people when u can..because nobody knows tomorrow
ReplyDeleteI think there is nothing wrong if couple live with their relatives in other to help them and I think it should not afect their relationship...Africans alawys look out for one another , Africans have large heart, we are more acommodative than any other race in the world.
