You will get used to the new way of life in time.

Hi,

Does "in time" in the above refer to "after a while" or "sooner or later?" Thanks.

Yes. And the implication is that it won't take too long. Just be patient.

Is it ok? It's OK. Only say 'the' if you have already mentioned this 'new way of life'. Otherewise, use the indefinite article 'a'.
