First propose marriage, then discuss dowries. The dowry is usually discussed in detail by both parents after the successful completion of the betrothal ceremony. Before proposing marriage, both men and women should first determine the scope of the dowry and communicate with their respective parents in advance. After proposing marriage, they can directly discuss the details of the dowry, which can prevent both parties from falling apart for the benefit of their children.
How should we talk about dowries
1. Both parties negotiate
Before getting married, both parents will sit down together to discuss the dowry. This is not only to follow traditional customs, but also to show the sincerity and respect of the groom's family towards the bride's family.
2. Correct mindset
When both parents are discussing the dowry, they must correct their mentality. When the bride's family asks for the dowry money, they should not speak loudly. They should consider the groom's family conditions, and the groom's family should not be too stingy. They can give more to the bride within their ability. In this case, the dowry negotiation is the smoothest.
3. Give the initiative to the male party
The female party can give the initiative to negotiate the dowry to the male party, allowing them to raise the dowry money themselves. This will prevent the male party from feeling passive and thinking that the female party's family is selling their daughter and unwilling to give the dowry money.
