Before marriage, I had a confidence that i can live the life happily and well understanding with my spouse. But I am married now, we couldn able to have understanding and always we think inverse to each other. Most of the mishaps are based on both the parents and relatives. Their parents had made a big show and insulted me/my family a lot before all relatives for silly reasons. My wife still relies on them and says they are not. She has homesick and spent most of the times with parents & doesnt moved with relatives. I am also tradional guy, i want to cope up with my parents and my wife. Any tips on leading realtionship

THis is a common problem found in most of the newly married couples and not a serious one also. Normally, girls will be more attached to their parents and relatives immediately after marriage. But, as time goes, you should, by your affection and love for her, make her feel that you are more important and affectionate to her than anybody else. Once, she realises this, she will be more attached towards you and your family members. But, it takes time in a relationship. If your problem is a more serious one, you can talk to her openly and make her realise that she is important to you and at the same time your family is also as important as she is, in your life and that you'd be happy if she can also be more affectionate towards your family members. Open and assertive talking will solve most of the relationship problems.

In my opinion, your wife is not ready to enter marriage life. She should know that being married means creating separate new family institution and be one with her husband. You should openly talk to her about it, or, go together to expert to get advice. I am sure the expert will talk the same way to. And for you, you feel dissapointed because we expect to much on marriage life. Yes, you can live a happy marriage and have well understanding with your wife but it tooks a lot of efforts to achive that. It's not just an instant process, need years efforts. One more advice: involving other relatives (including parents) too much on your marriage life will make it more complicated than it already has.

it is not so rare problem. but it happens in many family. at initial stage of married life, all these problems creep in. there is somewhere something is missing. may be its just the initial phase.do not take any side. try to solve problems thinking twice.
