When one begins dating for marriage, loving in-laws become an essential part of any relationship. You want your parents to adore your partner like their very own sons or daughters. 

And we can only hope that his mother will be someone who loves sharing her clothes, her recipes and most importantly, her son. 

I’ve always wondered what my in-laws would be like when I finally decide to put on a white dress and walk down the aisle. Will they be loving and warm? Welcoming and enthusiastic? Well, a girl can dream. So yes, there is no doubt that we want our partners to have a close bond with their parents, that would have a domino effect on our relationships with them. 

But…there has to be boundaries!

See, here for example. We love family game nights, Sunday barbecues, and would not even mind sharing the same neighborhood avenue, but having your in-laws stay at your honeymoon venue with you is just, how do we say this as nicely as possible… diabolical!
