Getting Along with Your In-Laws
Wednesday October 22, 2008
Wordless Wednesday Wedding
Whether your father-in-law is a wildly famous rock star or your average Joe the plumber, you still have to win over your new family. Sometimes that can be a real challenge. I have found a few things to help better my relationship with my in-laws. Never get angry with your in-laws even if they get angry with you. Keep your temper under control. Never talk badly about them to your spouse. Always show respect. Even if you have problems with one another, you must act like grown ups -- and be civilized and kind because they must always have a good relationship with your spouse and your children. You should never be the reason for trouble between your spouse and his or her family of origin. If you have a good relationship with your in-laws, then nurture it. If you don't, try to overcome the challenges that prevent you from having a good relationship with them. It's another step in the process of creating a happy, healthy family with your new husband or wife. Congrats!

I enjoyed this photo – it’s so candid, yet so beautiful. Thanks for sharing it!
This is a lovely photo, and your advice is very timely. Things that seem SO huge when you’re a newlywed have a way of becoming less important as time goes on.
Lovely photo — the composition is wonderful!! And what sound advice you always give, Francesca! Thank you!
I become a new MIL next week and I am happy to say we have a terrific relationship…
Great photo. I’ve been very lucky to have a great relationship with my in-laws. It’s been very important, especially since we live far from my family and close to my husband’s.
My friend who did wedding photography told me that people’s favorite photos were ultimately the ones he snapped unbeknownst to them while they were getting ready for the posed shots. This looks like one of those.
I agree that it’s important to have a close relationship with your in-laws. Once you marry, they become your family, too. And being close to your spouse’s family will bring you closer to your spouse. It’s not as easy as it sounds. But it is possible with time, patience, and effort. Thanks for all the comments. I appreciate them as a newlywed myself.
Such a good advise. Helpful.
The pleasure game begins as soon as the couple comes closer after wedding rituals. And the moment they are alone in bedroom, a thrill is passed through body as to how to please your partner on the first night of wedding. While some couples are gripped with the performance anxiety, others are constantly thinking of the pleasure they want to give to their partners. This pendulum swings both side – for men and for women also. So here are some tips for young couples to celebrate the pleasant nights after wedding.
