Many newly married couples struggle with creating their own boundaries. Consequently, couples sometimes struggle with how to interact with their in-laws. It is important for couples to discuss before it causes problems. If you can get along with each others parents you are lucky. If you and your spouse cannot figure out how to deal with in-laws, step back and analyze what things are relevant to deal with and which are not. For example, how often to visit in-laws or how much financial support is okay from families. If you cannot agree with your spouse consider the long term consequences of taking a stance and whether your relationship is worth the argument. It is important for you to not put down your spouses family. This generally will hurt your relationship.
