For example, you grew up having a big feast on Thanksgiving. Accept them for who they are and try not to look down on them for not living up to your standards or expectations. Pursue your in-laws. You heard me. Be friendly to them. Make an effort. Send them cards on their birthdays. Invite them to big celebrations in your life. Let them learn more about you and your life.
Who knows? You may just influence them to be a little more likable. Marriage is hard and family is complicated.

This news, which comes courtesy of a study of 1, Finnish couples and may not really constitute news at all, suggest that familiarity ultimately breeds contempt.
Outlaws are wanted! Just ask Terri Orbuch, a sociologist who tracked nearly marriages over a period of 26 years, and found that relationships with in-laws are closely correlated with risk of divorce. In an effort to figure out why our relationships with our in-laws tend to sour over time, Danielsbacka and colleagues asked 1, married Finnish men and women how often they had blow-out fights with their parents and in-laws, and how close they felt to each relative.
Participants who felt closer to their in-laws and parents were less likely to fight with them. In general, Finns reported getting into more fights with their parents than their in-laws… until they had kids. Once grandkids entered the picture, participants continued to fight with their own parents at roughly the same rate as before—but began to argue with their in-laws, as well.
We didn't used to but I think they were just nervous because when we started dating I was 18 and he was 15 : But in the last about years, they are just basically family. There isn't really his family and mine anymore. It's just one big one. It took awhile for her to realize that no, I didn't find it cute or funny that she wanted to put my baby in Squeelers crap but she finally got it and now we get along perfect.
You're not alone. I really like my in-laws as well. They are both great to me and would do anything for my son and the new baby. Mine aren't that bad. FIL was actually the one watching my kids for most all of my dr appts this summer. I really don't have any problem with my in-laws. I really like my MIL, but she's sort of hands-off. I actually wish she would take more of an interest in the grandkids sometimes!
FIL is loud and boisterous, but a lot of fun. I think my in-laws are just so young late 40s that they are still in 'party mode' and not 'grandparent mode' lol.
