Omotola Gets Candid: Why Dealing With In-Laws Makes Marriage Tougher
Popular Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has spoken about how couples can navigate relationships with in-laws who may not readily accept them.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The movie star shared her views during a recent interview with TVC presenter Morayo Afolabi Brown, where she discussed marriage and family dynamics.
Omotola encouraged spouses to make sincere efforts to build positive relationships with their partner’s family, even if they are not warmly received at first. She stressed the importance of patience, understanding, and consistent effort in easing tensions and fostering harmony.
According to her, couples should do their best to help their in-laws understand them, as calmness and perseverance can gradually reduce conflict within the family.
However, she acknowledged that not every situation can be resolved. Some parents, she said, may already have formed strong prejudices and may refuse to accept a new spouse regardless of the effort made. In such instances, the rejection may stem from deep-seated bias rather than personal shortcomings.
Omotola further noted that marriage is already a major commitment that demands significant adjustment and responsibility. Beginning that journey without the backing of extended family, she said, can make it even more challenging. Persistent tension from in-laws can add unnecessary strain to a relationship.
She also cautioned that even when families appear to have a change of heart, the shift may not always be permanent. A temporary improvement could later reverse, leading to renewed conflict and emotional stress.
For this reason, she advised couples to pay attention to behavioural patterns and carefully consider how ongoing hostility from in-laws might affect their long-term happiness and stability.
She said, “If your spouse’s family doesn’t like you, try everything you can to help them understand you. But some parents are determined not to like you, no matter what you do—they already have a prejudice.
“Marriage is already hard, and starting without love and support makes it even tougher. Some people may change their minds, but that can be uncertain because they might change again.
“Honestly, it may not be worth it. Marriage itself is an institution where you will face many challenges. It’s a lifetime journey.”
