1 Identity / Surname
The first and foremost advice that Samairas friends gave her was not to change her surname after marriage. If her surname before marriage was Samaira Gayle, they wanted her to remain the same even after the wedding. Her friends advised her that unless otherwise she is so attracted by the name Jaden, she must not, at any cost, change her name for any other reason. Of course, some women change their surname after marriage either in the name of tradition or husband sentiment. Women must realize the changing the surname does not mean disrespecting the husband or his family members. Nothing else is more important than retaining your identity.

A blonde was speeding
A blonde was speeding in a 35 mile per hour zone when a local police officer pulled her over and walked up to the car.
The officer also happened to be a blonde and she asked for the blonde's driver's license.
The driver searched frantically in her purse for a while and finally said to the blonde policewoman, "What does a driver's license look like?"
Irritated, the blonde cop said, "You dummy, it's got your picture on it!"
The blonde driver frantically searched her purse again and found a small, rectangular mirror down at the bottom.
She held it up to her face and said, "Aha!
This must be my driver's license" and handed it to the blonde policewoman.
The blonde cop looked in the mirror, handed it back to the driver and said,
"You're free to go. And, if I had known you were a police officer too, we could have avoided all of this."

They had always practiced giving honest feedbacks when situations demanded the same. They have never hesitated to criticize whenever required to put their friends back on track. Samaira's friends wanted her to promise that she will be accessible to her friends after marriage too, as much as she is before the wedding. They wanted her to keep mingling with them allocating time for them, as she does now, after getting married too

She has never cared for others opinion about her way of dressing. She wore what she liked to wear. Her friends advised her to remain the same girl even after marriage and not give up her likings about dressing and fashion after the wedding. It is her fundamental right, which she must not let go off just because someone insists on that after marriage
7 Freedom and privacy
While some women are forced by people and situations to lose their identity after marriage, some lose their identity voluntarily. For every small thing, they start seeking the consent of their husband and his people. This becomes their habit over a period, and they lose their individuality living the life of others. Samaira's married friend explained how she fought back to get her individuality by filing divorce and giving shock treatment to her in-laws
8 Power to make decisions
Everyone who is smart, prefer to be independent. They are capable of taking smart decisions within a quick span of time.

She must emphatically speak out what she felt was right for herself and her family, especially where it comes to important matters
9 Belief Systems
Samaira was advised by her friends that many times in life, we all believe in certain things and go by that. Sometimes, as we age, our beliefs about certain things might take a U-turn. After marriage, when it comes to getting ridiculed about her opinion over certain things, women must put their foot strong on the ground and be firm in her belief. Samaira's friends explained to her how they did this through some incidents that happened in their life.
10 Care for sibling and parents
There are still many husbands and their people, who do not like if the women meet her parents and siblings after marriage. This may lead the women to experience severe physical and mental troubles. The same thing happened with Myra, who was Samaira's friend. She felt so depressed when she was not allowed to meet her people after marriage that, the husband had to apologize for treating her so. Make it clear, right in the beginning that you will be in touch with your siblings and parents. If required, every woman has the right to help them financially. Remember, it is with them she has lived all these years, and she cannot be just like that plucked away from that land
