Financial independence, proactiveness in career
Economically independent women will have a voice in the family. When they have a stable income, they do not have to depend entirely on their husband or husband's family, thereby easily asserting their position. In fact, no family wants a lazy daughter-in-law who can only rely on her.
Financial independence not only helps women ensure spending on living and raising children but also creates confidence in the way of life. A wife with a career and financial autonomy is often more respected, while having many opportunities and options to improve the quality of life for her family.
Completing yourself to affirm your value
The position in the husband's family comes not only from his economic position but also from his ability, education and lifestyle. Women today are no longer the "assets" of husbands, but they need to have opinions, knowledge and maturity. If she only knows how to surround herself with her husband and children, does not improve her knowledge or develop herself, it will be difficult for a woman to receive respect from her husband's family.
On the contrary, when constantly learning, practicing, knowing how to take care of yourself and behaving skillfully, a woman will become a solid spiritual support, both a good wife and a daughter-in-law who is recognized. At that time, the family relationship will become more harmonious and less complicated.
Maintain your own principles and courage
To be respected in the husband's family, women need to have clear living principles. Do not be too weak to let others easily overwhelm you, nor should you be too strong, authoritarian, causing disorganization. Knowing to be modest, flexible but still steadfast in your limits will help women maintain balance in marriage.
A wife with opinions will be considered an adult, knowing how to take responsibility for her life and being able to maintain family happiness. That courage is the key factor that creates a solid position in the eyes of her husband and her husband's family.
The position of women in the husband's family does not come naturally, nor does it come from demands or comparisons. It is built from financial independence, personality and ability improvement, along with courage and clear living principles. When these factors are combined, women will find respect, equality and true happiness in marriage.
