25 Great Tips for Building a Relationship With Your In-Laws

By Fawn Weaver on Wednesday, October 9, 2013

Prior to marrying, my husband and I went through a twelve-week premarital counseling course with a psychologist whose main focus was marriage.

Best. Money. Spent. Ever.

We covered every topic under the sun, ranging from finances to children to our pasts and everything in between.

In our ten years together since that time, I can honestly say there is nothing we’ve encountered that we hadn’t already discussed a “what if” for during those 12 weeks.

At least, that was is the statement I made a couple weeks ago and Keith quickly corrected me. ”There was an incident with my Mom…and that wasn’t expected.”

Yikes! I’d forgotten all about that. Yes, his mother and I are very similar in alot of ways but incredibly different in others. And when Keith and I were first married, one of those differences caused a momentary rift.

Thankfully, for the both of us, Keith was wise enough to know the best way to bridge the divide and we quickly came to understand how the differences in our personalities and the way we handle certain things could adversely impact our relationship.

What I discovered during that time, and have continued to learn over the years, was our love for that man of mine (her son) should always take precedence. And I truly love and adore her too.

Over the weekend, I posted this graphic in our Facebook community that simply read, “To my mother-in-law, thank you for raising the love of my life.” It was “liked” more than 15,000 times and shared almost as many.

That got me to thinking, I bet the women of this club have some great tips for building a relationship with your in-laws. So this morning, I posed the question, “If you get along well with your in-laws, what would you say has been the key to building that relationship?”

More than 500 people responded and provided us with some great tips. If I could quickly sum up what seemed to make the most difference it was B.RA.W.L: Boundaries, Respect, Acceptance, Willingness and Love.

So instead of having a “brawl” with your in-laws, as so many unfortunately do, remember they are a part of what made your wonderful spouse who they are and try this version [of brawling] instead:

Common Courtesy Can Go a Long Way. “My experience was difficult at first. But, when I realized that they didn’t dislike me, they just would miss their son, it all changed. Respect, honesty and common courtesy goes a long way. Eventually, the F.E.A.R (false evidence appearing real) goes away, guards are dropped and you realize you’re now an extended family – not a discontinuation of one.” -Jenny Campbell

Seek Advice Without Accusation. “Understand that they have loved your spouse much longer than you. Never put them in a position where they have to defend their child. Seek advice without accusations. Celebrate them for their support and encouragement of your spouse.” -Frances Siple

Extend Grace. “…the key to our relationship is respect and grace.” -Melissa Stratton Sanchez

Treat Them As Family. I have always looked at my in-laws like they’re my blood and it has made it so much easier to get along. We have all worked hard to make it important to us, though. It’s not always easy, but it has to matter enough to you to keep on working on it! -Laurina Rose Hendrickson

Be True to Who You Are. “Being yourself. Eventually it will work out. If you try to be something/someone you’re not, it will only cause everyone problems down the line.” -Karen Royalty Smith

Have Your Spouse Resolve Conflict. “When there is conflict between me and whomever, I talk it over with my husband and he talks to them. For one, they’re his family and he knows how to talk to them, and for two it takes him out of the middle – he doesn’t have to choose between me and them, he helps to resolve any conflict instead of letting one build.” -Tresa Koester

Give it Time. Realize relationships take TIME to build. One or even several large scale fights do not mean you cannot have a relationship. You may be very different people and it takes TIME to look at the world from another person’s viewpoint with love. Don’t give up. Always be kind. Give it time. -Tristan Roszkowski

Accentuate the Positive. “I love my mother-in-law. I think it helps to try to accentuate the positive. She is loving, giving, and incredibly kind. Of course, there are quirks that irritate me now and again, but in those moments, I try to remind myself that she is only doing what she thinks is best based off of her experience.” -Brittany Nielson

Include Them. Including them in all aspects of our lives, calling several times a week and including them on our family vacations with the kids. We WANT our children to have amazing memories of their grandparents. One day, WE will be the grandparents and would love the same respect. -Lori Ann Kennelly

Do Not Differentiate. “We never differentiate between “YOUR family” or “MY family”. It’s always OUR family from the day we were married. We love and respect each others parents and they love and respect us. We laugh, love and support each other as much as we can.” -Barbara Rocco Adams

Let Them Out of The Box. “For me, it has been to let them out of the little box I thought they were supposed to fit in. To be patient. To love and accept them as they are! I think I expected them to be like my family, and they are not. And that’s ok. It’s great, actually! They’re awesome!” -Stacy Smith Bishop

Remember Who They Are. “Remembering they raised and love the person you love and enjoy their company.” -Jeanine Parrish Giuliano

Remove Pride. “Love! Not being so prideful myself that I ignore their wisdom and love. They truly love me as their daughter and I love them as parents. Love never fails!” -Molinda Bailey

They Are Not the Enemy. “Mutual respect, not looking at your mother in law like she is an “enemy”, set healthy boundaries early on, communicate well, and a hug truly goes a long way.” -Alaina Marie

Know Your Roles. “Respect. Knowing each person’s role in their partner’s lives. A lot of times it can verge on who is SIGNIFICANT in their lives still? Each party has a different love type and level. When both parties respect that…then you have peace and harmony.” -June Robinson

Protect Your Words. “Prayer, self-assessment, forgiveness, always be humble and protect your own words, they become a part of your life and last forever.” -Melissa Dyer
Respect Their Position. “Respect their positions as parents (and grandparents, if apply)….Always be honest….Show constant love and gratitude for raising a wonderful child!” -Sheryl Taylor

Build a Friendship. “Love them, I mean really love them. Build a friendship with them and include them in your life, not just in areas where your spouse is involved but in all areas. Pray for God to connect your families together also.” -Vycki South

Have No Expectations. “Having their grandchildren, having no great expectations & just letting go of criticism – they see it as trying to help – believing the intention is good.” -Sara Litzkow Wax

Let Go of Grudges. “Be honest but respectful at the same time. Let go of grudges. Be patient. Have fun together! Communicate! Laugh! Share stories!” -Lesley Michelle Callahan Rogers

Don’t Put on a Show. “My relationship with my mother-in-law is separate from my relationship with my husband. I spend time alone with her…I don’t say negative things to her about him…and I act like me. I never put on a show for her.” -Angela Swartz

Bring Presumptions to the Surface. “Communication. Period. It was rough in the beginning but once I cleared the air by bringing all the presumptions to the surface, it’s been awesome ever since — and that was 13 years ago.” -Carlie Kercheval

Find a Respectful Approach. “If they raised the man of your dreams treat them as they are the reason he exists. Vent to your honey first, if something bothers you, to come up with the most respectful approach to not only them but your honey – respect them as HIS parents but love them as your own.” -Kristyn Johnson

Take Initiative. “Take initiative with them, don’t ignore them and wait for them to do so. Invite them for dinner, help your husband shop/buy gifts for them, etc. Include them in your good news! Help make them feel special and an important part of your life.” -Emily Reese

It’s a Package Deal. “Always put in mind/heart that tt’s a package deal. Love your In-laws as much as you love your husband no matter what.” -Shirley Topang

QUESTION: If you have a good relationship with your in-laws, what has been your secret to success?

Until tomorrow…make it a great day!

ouch!!! such heart breaking words to hear….my sins are exposed but I am so quick to judge on many many levels. I love my husband but not them.

  The great thing is you recognize that you’ve been judging and can work toward a healthier relationship with them because, one day, you’ll be the mom-in-law (aka mom-in-love) and will want your daughter-in-love to respect and adore you, as well.

Only an INSANE man would get married in America today, considering how biased the divorce courts are against men and how useless 99 percent of American women really are.

71 percent of men between the ages of 18 to 34 in America have no interest in marriage:

  Women aren’t useless, they’re running away from crazy negative trollers like you…
  It’s sad that you were put in he friend zone so much that you’ve become so bitter to even the thought of marriage, but as long as you keep that mentality nothing will change.

Am excited to get along with the familyof my future husband but well ofcourse, its not that pretty easy to get along w them but soon coz I love my husband to be so I have no doubts that it wouldn’t be hard to love his family. .They make him as a better man that deserved to have a faithful wife.But for all who are married now, cherish everything u shared and spent for each other..huuuw what other things I could say, well I love my husband and I will never lead anything to make trouble w my laws.want to feel that they’re proud that their son married a wonderful woman.:)

    Hi Fawn,
    I have being reading this thread and really touched me as well, I need help and encourage here. last Sunday (one week ago), my sister inlaw from no reason as all smacked my 5year old infront of my husband (the brother) and I, i didnt say anything coz this is end up in arguments, but she smacked our son the third time and started describing me and calling me names that I am one sided. but I never said a any word coz my kids were with me and didnt want to show my anger infront of them, she even wanted to fight and throw her hands but it never lied on my body, yet still I was quiet coz i know know I had nothing to do with those negative commets and words..this incident happened staight after our Church service at home – my husband’s family home.
    please need advice on what to do..
    - http://www.happywivesclub.com/ Fawn @ Happy Wives Club
      
      Oh, Dee. I’m so sorry to hear this happened and hope it will never happen again. I don’t want to give any advice here because I don’t know your family dynamics. In my family, smacking someone else’s child (or even your own) would not be tolerated. Our entire family would jump on the person that did that in front of us.
      
      I guess my question here would be have you spoken with your husband about this? Do you see the situation the same? I’m at a loss as to why he wouldn’t step in which is why I don’t want to give too many thoughts as I know I must be missing a very important piece of the puzzle here.
      
      My suggestion would be to have a heart-to-heart with your husband about this. Choose the best time (not when he or you are tired, stressed, or busy) and really get to the heart of how you feel about what happened. Make an agreement to stand together, against and and everyone, as a united front. And my hope is that united front will bring your family closer, not push them away. And most importantly, my hope is your united front will cause his family to respect your union and authority and never place their hands on your child again.

yanno i’ve done all those things the first 5 or so years…prolly longer…well…except for the being yourself part…i just recently (as in this year) decided to stop trying “get them to like/respect me” . I laid it all out on the table…I stated every fact about our relationship (she called it grudge holding but she couldn’t deny they were also facts) and if she would like to have a functional relationship with her grandchildren she and i are going to need to be friends. I don’t think that was asking to much but apparently it was waaaay more than she felt necessary because her response to me was ” why can’t you just do what we do and fit in…why do you have to be different? and why should i have to build a relationship with you..i’m essentially your parent and what i say should go…we don’t have to be friends for that”….and yet she claims to be holy…i call it cramming for the finals….there is no commandment that speaks specifically to m/f in law relationships. The scripture says that the husband is to leave his mother and father and cling to his wife…i know that can be taken and applied many different ways…but the bible is very clear on what a marriage should be..and it does not mandate your in laws….it’s an option…sometimes it works out…most times it doesn’t….i find no sin in that…sadness maybe but not sin! So for me…this is one of those things in life I’m just going to have to accept and move on.

  The great thing is you’ve recently started being yourself which, based on the many many suggestions people shared on our Facebook community page yesterday on this topic, that’s one of the keys to building a successful in-law relationship. Your spouse fell in love with you for exactly who you are and that’s the person his parents will come to respect (although it sounds like it might take some time, for sure ).
  - Becky
    
    Thanks Fawn! i was a lil worried that i might come across as a “negative nancy”…but i figured there had to be others out there in my boat…that hasn’t actually DONE anything but try to make/keep the peace. As long as my dh stays on “our side”..and doesn’t allow his mom to guilt him into giving into her demands regardless if it will cause problems with us…things will be just fine!! I know what we had in the beginning before they ever got involved was beautiful..drama free…we didn’t have our first fight till after the wedding (which they refused to attend) because i wouldn’t call her mom…and it’s been a fight every since…this summer I’d had enough. At this point…time will solve this problem one way or another

      Stay strong and continue to build your marriage. All other outside relationships will work themselves out with patience, love and dedication. But what is most important is the love and friendship in your own home and it sounds like that’s your focus so all will work out .

  I agree. I myself have tried my very best to have a relationship with my in-laws. And you know what, its really hard when people praise money more than the love in the family. His son and i got married with most of our budget and my husband thinking his parents would atleast give a little support financially thought wrongly. His parents shouldered 15%. Just a few months later (4months), she was asking money from us twice as much. We were just starting!! And after all that we spent, how could she even think that we already have that amt? Few more months, she kept asking items like expensive watches etc. where the hell would we get money and buy what she asks. She is way richer than us!!! we gave her a shirt for a gift and she didnt use it even once til now. (We are on our 4th yr) gave her certain amt to add for the watch she was asking and she said a lot! (Mocks) when we give her cake, she would say she doesnt like that cake and she wants a watch. The hell with the watch! We dont save money to provide for her!! We save money so that we may not be of heavy load to them. We live independently from them!! She gossips abt me. Says wrong things abt me to everyone! Like everyone! She would say everything is my fault bec im th woman, that i am more mature and that is why the decision in giving her watches lies on me. Says i control her son that is why his son does this and that to her. i was even the one telling his son to visit her. And she always, like always tells me im fat. Hello!!! It was only less than 2 months that i had a CS (a year ago) and my child died!! I was still mourning and her concern is my body while im felt like my life that time was less meaningless bec of what happened. She kept on attacking me up til now. She attacks me in every aspect. She even told my parents we dont lend her money bec of me!! We offered her an amt less than what she was asking and she wont accerpt!! Since then, i started setting boundaries. She is evil for me. Actually, his son is not evn close to her bec he says his mom is materialistic and egoistic. Maybe was deprived and bullied from the past. And that WAS NOT MY FAULT. Right now i can be civil with her but if push to my limits, i think i could explode and says things to her facce.. So i believe you. I thought of that as well, it didtnt say in the bible to serve your in laws. I love my husband and i would do everything for him but i wont exchange my dignity and pride for a person whom we dont get the point why she would do such things..

    Sounds like time and space is what you are giving the in-law relationship which might be good based on what you’ve shared. As long as you don’t let that outside relationship adversely impact your inside marriage, you’ll be good. Here’s to hoping you and your in-laws find common ground (at some point ).
Mary

What if I’ve done all those things and my mother-in-law just does not want to get along and thinks I’m the most evil person on Earth? My husband and I have no idea why she acts like this or thinks this way. It’s very difficult for us to deal with.
- http://www.happywivesclub.com/ Fawn @ Happy Wives Club
  
  What I found is over time, as his family sees how much you love him and he loves you, their hearts will soften. Sometimes it takes consistency over time to change their perceptions. The question is, “How much time?” And that’s an answer that is going to be specific to every relationship. Allow this to draw you and your husband nearer together and just trust that the people who raised him will eventually come to love to the woman he chose to spend the rest of his life with.
lilly

Everything was just fine relationship wise between his parents and I. the first year we were together as boyfriend and girlfriend, but then 3 months after we got married all hell broke lose his family started targeting me about things they thought were bad things I had done in my past (which were all lies, by the way). both his parents started yelling at me and belittling me, and I really had no idea what I could have possibly done so wrong. well turns out they had fuel feeding a fire of their own. my sister-inlaw, she has caused so much discord in everybody’s life it is unbelievable. Just recently about 3 months ago she started trouble again accusing me of stupid things I never said or done, my husband and I ended up over at his parents we commenced to arguing, and my sister inlaw slapped me in the face. I was more crushed on the inside about it than anything. And to make matters worse I was just getting comfotable around my inlaws calling them mom and dad, because I thought maybe they would like that, when I was informed in the middle of the argument, to not call them mom or dad anymore. So yeah, I am upset and I don’t know what to do anymore.
- http://www.happywivesclub.com/ Fawn @ Happy Wives Club
  
  Oh man, Lilly! That hurts. I can’t even imagine how that feels. Well, hopefully some of these tips can help to begin building a better relationship (every day is a new day) and with passing time, and them continuing to see how much you love on their son, they will come to love you, as well. But until such time, as long as this doesn’t come between you and your husband (or cause a strain/rift), it too shall pass…

    Thank-you for responding to my post. I will continue to love their son with all my heart.

Great article. I was wondering if you could do an article on combining families? My husband and I just got married last month and I would love to know some tips on combined families…you know, couples who have kids from previous marriages.

Jad Dee

Your such a blessing Fawn! Thank you much for this article. Though I am satisfied how my relationship with my hubby goes… i am not completely happy or should i say not yet fulfilled as a wife coz my relationship with my in-laws is… horrible Since we got married, never did i egg on my husband to stop supporting his family (he used to support his family but finally decided to cut down coz he wanted to give his children good education and eventually build our own home). i must admit that it all started with money issues and one thing, we go to different church.
i haven’t met my in-laws yet, or never had a chance… its so sad coz they already have a very bad impression of me… even accusing me things i never did (honestly, it doesn’t affect me that much coz i know myself better, than anybody else and my husband knows who truly am). i want them to know that i wont take their son away from them. even did my best(est) to understand them. now that his mother has a stage 4(?) breast cancer, how i wish i will be given a chance to serve her… not for anything else but i really wanted to thank her… coz she is a mother of my loving husband… but how??? (btw, i tried to reach out… even asked forgiveness (as what the bible says) but was all in vain).
- http://www.happywivesclub.com/ Fawn @ Happy Wives Club
  
  Thanks, Jad! Sometimes it’s time that is needed above all things. Consistency over time as they have the opportunity to see why their son fell head over heels in love with you. Until then, the most important relationship is you and your hubby and I trust you guys are taking great care of that one. <3

I believe you Fawn but in-laws are also human. And humanity is a diversity of characters and attitude. I dont think only US should reach out and low down our pride. We are humans too. If dignity and pride are already being stepped on for no reason, or just because she loves her son that much, it is not my problem. They should be the mature ones to hold on to the family thing and work on it. Yes of course i would do my part but not everything. I lost a child and if only my baby survived, i would love him as my life as well but i will never ruin his life with the woman she would choose in the future just bec i want to be treated well. If i want to be treated well, i would reach out and be kind. I would just share love. And i would show respct. Respect begets respect. Does it say that money begets respect? NO. So i will just leave her alone, let her do her thing and be sad forever. I maybe sad that we are not getting well but i prefer that than her to ruin my relationship with my husband wh ch happens to be her son.

  People can change. Let’s hope your M-I-L is able to do that. But if not, you are right, hold tight to the relationship that matters most.
Lauren Lawson

Love the post Fawn! My in-laws really started off to a very rocky start. Fear and insecurities fueled hard feelings on both sides. Sometimes events bring you together and healing starts. It was very difficult to get passed the things that had hurt me and my husband. But, they are HIS parents and he loves them. So I made a choice to forgive and work on putting the past where it belongs behind us. Now we are all close, we even went on a vacation together this year. Sometimes we need to swallow our pride and see it from both sides.

Lots of great advice and sage wisdom I wish I’d known years before! My husband & I will be celebrating 9 years next month. We’ve been through just about every situation you can imagine that would tear a marriage apart. We’ve both been married before and so we became an instant blended family with children, mine and his. I think the first 5 years were the toughest, there was always something and both of us wanted to throw in the towel a few times. But we knew we had something special and we truly loved one another, the external stressor’s from family, exe’s and children were difficult. But we weathered the storm together and made us stronger. I don’t know that there is ONE recipe to a good marriage, like anything you’ve got to have a good foundation to start with, you have to communicate and be one with your partner and let him take the lead with his family. Don’t involve your in-laws with your conflict or get involved with family conflict, even if you are the one being attacked by the in laws. The Bible says honor and respect your mother and father, the in-laws are also your mother and father. Sometimes even when they may not deserve honor or respect, they are your husbands parents and tempers and grudges will eventually calm down, you don’t want your words or actions to be hurtful ones, Say nothing, turn away, let them know you love and care for them and give them time, show respect and don’t talk ill of them to your husband! Your husband deserves your respect. Chances are he may be embarrassed at their behaviors and would then become defensive. Point out the good qualities you see in your in-laws, find something you have in common with your mother or father in-law and concentrate on that! I enjoy being around my in-laws we laugh a lot and we do things that we all enjoy, camping, hunting, crafting, gardening, ect. But it hasn’t always been that way. I am particularly fond of my father in-law, I can see my husband in him, I enjoy watching him and my husband together. My mother in-law and I talk and laugh at their silly little quirks that make them the men we love. Hoping those waters stay calm…Now I am the MIL of one and we have two more to go!! LOL

  You’re already a M-I-L yourself? That is awesome! You will get a chance to be the type of in-law you always wanted to have. New beginnings…

About 6 years ago my husband and I received a pretty nasty email from his mom. There had been problems previously but with this one his brother and brothers wife took sides. My husband decided that was it. So amongst promises that we would regret not having them in our lives my hasband discontinued all communication with his brother and his parents and brothers wife. Over the years we hear from them…still wanting a “reconciliation” but always in thier terms (mostly the sils). I wish we were getting to know our nephew and neice but it would likely be more drama. My husband now is very close with my parents and although its sad about not having the in laws (not all we do still interact with cousins and others who understand) I really believe that in situations like this one sometimes severing ties can be the best option.

  The beauty in all this is your marriage continued to be strengthened and you both stood as a united front against anything (or anyone) who might try to come against you.

What if your husband doesn’t get along with his family. I pushed him for visits or to call but each time we end up frustrated. I tried calling on my own but my mil doesn’t answer her phone. There is family drama and lies between family members. The drama interferes in our marriage. My husband doesn’t want to talk or visit his family and wants me to do the same.

My relationship with my in-laws is better than that of my family (so my poor husband has a challenge with his in-laws). It’s definitely a back and forth thing, making sure to set boundaries. As with any relationship, it can be so complex. I think have open communication is important. At the end of the day, my husband and son are my priority though and sometimes that means upsetting our parents. It depends a lot on the parents ability to let their children grow up and become adults. My in-laws have done a pretty good job with that, my parents have not – so that relationship is pretty much gone.

I have to give this miraculous testimony, which is so unbelievable until now. I had a problem with my Ex husband 2years ago, which lead to our break up. when he broke up with me, I was not myself again, i felt so empty inside me, my love and financial situation became worst, until a close friend of mine lucy told me about a spell caster who helped her in the same problem too his name is Dr Ekaka. I email ekakaspelltemple@yahoo.com the spell caster and i told him my problem and i did what he asked of me, to cut the long story short. Before i knew what was happening my husband gave me a call and told me that he was coming back to me in just 2days and was so happy to have him back to me. We have two kids together and we are happy with ourselves. Thanks to Dr Ekaka for saving my relationship and for also saving others own too. continue your good work, If you are interested to contact him and testify this blessings like me, the great spell caster email address is ekakaspelltemple@yahoo.com you are the best among all the spell caster online I hope you see my testimonies and also pray for my family too

How to get back your ex husband, wife, girlfriend, or boyfriend,

Hello to every one out here, am here to share the unexpected miracle that happened to me three days ago, My name is Jeffrey Dowling,i live in Texas,USA.and I`m happily married to a lovely and caring wife,with two kids A very big problem occurred in my family seven months ago,between me and my wife so terrible that she took the case to court for a divorce she said that she never wanted to stay with me again,and that she did not love me anymore So she packed out of my house and made me and my children passed through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get her back,after much begging,but all to no avail and she confirmed it that she has made her decision,and she never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my wife So i explained every thing to her,so she told me that the only way i can get my wife back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for her too So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow her advice. Then she gave me the email address of the spell caster whom she visited.(bravespellcaster@gmail.com}, So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address she gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my wife back the next day what an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me,and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my wife who did not call me for the past seven {7}months,gave me a call to inform me that she was coming back So Amazing!! So that was how she came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and she apologized for her mistake,and for the pain she caused me and my children. Then from that day,our relationship was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster . So, was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster . So, i will advice you out there to kindly visit the same Website: http://enchantedscents.tripod.com/lovespell/,if you are in any condition like this,or you have any problem related to â€œbringing your ex back.
