Marrying a man with children is a situation where in a lot is at stake. From getting to know the children's mannerisms and raising them as smart individuals to sustaining a peaceful and healthy relationship with your spouse, there are several questions to ask here. With Bollywood’s A-list couple Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor all set to tie the knot next month, we are hoping the actress will sustain her marriage with full commitment. As far as Saif’s children are concerned, we can only wish Kareena to be a good step parent to them.
If you are in a similar situation, here are some questions you should ask.
Am I willing to be a step parent to someone else’s children?
Falling in love is surely not a planned affair. However, marrying the man of your dreams has to be a conscious decision. If the man you are about to marry has children from his previous marriage, things obviously tend to get a little complicated. The question for you to ask is if you can become a step parent to someone else’s children? It is important to remember that parenting your husband’s kids cannot be an overnight task.
Can I manage a relationship that comes with children?When you are marrying a man with kids, you might find it difficult to manage the relationship with perfect ease. But think about this - your decision to settle down with him was a conscious and happy decision. Yes, managing someone else’s children may affect the relationship at any given point, but at the end of the day it completely depends on how accommodating you are.
How do I develop a healthy relationship with their mother?
A lot of stories you hear may discourage you and people often say that coping with the husband’s ex can be a difficult task. However, don’t overrule the fact that your husband’s ex-spouse can be a sensible and mature woman. If she is, it makes a lot more sense to become friends instead of maintaining a bitter relationship with her.
Am I ready to nurture and raise the children?
Once you have decided to marry the person, communicate with him more often to set important parenting decisions for the kids. At the same time, remember you do not require prior experience to nurture and raise the children. We say be a united team and settle to become a good step-parent by choice.
How do I prepare to have my own children?
You may be bogged down by the idea of having your own kids at some point in the marriage. Communicate with your partner and ask him where exactly he stands on the issue. It may take some time to prepare yourselves to have children of your own, but it's completely okay to raise his children as your own too.
