Mom asks daughters to choose partner carefully as it can make or break family's Christmas for '50 years'

Choosing a partner is considered a big deal because they are going to take part in every big and small moment of your life. However, many people would question what one can keep in mind while choosing a life partner or how to find the right person for yourself. A mom on TikTok has a simple answer for the same. The woman, Erin Bruce, who goes by @erinbrucexo on the platform, shared the one thing to think of while choosing your life partner in a video.

"I tell my kids that whoever you marry is going to make the entire family's Christmas better or worse for the next 50 years," the woman began. "You are not just choosing someone you are attracted to or you want to touch, okay." She added, "You are choosing someone that’s going to enhance or destroy Christmas for the next 50 years." Bruce shared, "Our girls, two out of two right now, we have got two more to go and two out of two is awesome. It’s better when their spouses are there; they just make things better. They’re peacemakers. They add a lot of joy and fun and great conversation. They’re great listeners, they bridge things, they ask questions."

"They bring joy, they’re not moody, they’re positive, they’re helpful. So when you’re looking for someone, you’re looking for someone that does all those things for the family," the mom expressed. Bruce is the author of "Raising Epic Kids" and a Life Coach. The video received over 194.6k views and more than 18.2k likes. People in the comments section of the video had mixed reactions to the advice. While some people felt that the advice was something worth following, others felt that a person has to think about themselves and if they can get along with the partner before thinking if their family would get along with the said partner or not.

They enhance our family so much!" @amicsan commented, "Yes, I married the only boy with three sisters. I was never allowed in their club. I tried for 15 years and now we are no contact. It hurts my heart, but I could no longer try where I wasn’t welcome." @leveraval33 remarked, "Yeah, I should’ve told myself that about my in-laws. I thought they were normal and they are not. They probably think I destroyed it and that’s ok, I had a baby and everything changed."

@zippermoon shared, "This is so accurate I grew up in a wonderful Christmas environment, always happy and I have spent the last 23 years on Christmas so sad because my husband doesn’t do anything for me and doesn’t care." @sunny_pm expressed, "Christmas, I got up before everyone and I went to the bathroom. I came downstairs, the three kids had opened their gifts with their dad. He thought I had gone to get breakfast (never have done yet). Sad day." @missassy1986 disclosed, "What if he makes holidays better and it's my mother who determines if it's good or bad." @alishaann0310 felt, "Remember, as soon as you get married, you are a new family. Your unit of 2 comes first."
