6 Tips To Bond With Your In-Laws

For a newly married couple, the initial year of marriage is a wonderful time to bond with each other intimately and also build a relationship with your in-laws.

While, there isn’t a rule book or an instruction manual for bonding with your in-laws,  some tips that can help you become a part of the family with love.

Understand it is a new culture

Your spouse’s family will have different customs, different way of doing things, different belief systems and it is going to take you time to understand and adjust.

Resist the compariso urge

It isn’t possible for them to behave the same way as your parents or family did, just like it isn’t possible for you to behave like them.

Build your own couple space

While it is important you bond with them, but it is also equally important that newly married couples create their own ‘space.

Remember to communicate appropriately

Another thing that can really help is open and tactful communication. An attitude of respect will go a long way in helping you build a relationship with your in-laws.

Be careful of criticism

Just as  in siblings it may be okay  for one to bully the other, but if  an outsider  do the same, they will defend each other loyally.

So, the same principle applies  when making negative comments about one’s parents as compared to hearing them from your spouse.

Work as a team to resolve differences

If there is a disagreement with your in-laws, discuss it as a couple beforehand and then take a common position with them.
