Having a good
relationship with my in-laws is something that is really important to me. I
want to be able to feel like they are a part of my family as much as I feel
like my biological family is. It is kind of interesting that this is the topic
that we are talking about this week because next week I will be meeting my soon
to be in-laws for the first time. My fiancé and I have skyped them a few times
in the past, but I have never met them in person because of how far away they
live from where we are. As I have thought about meeting them in person I have
begun to get a little more nervous. For a while I did not realize why I was
getting nervous, but I think it is because of the common way that in-laws are
referred to by many people.
When a lot of people talk about their in-laws they are
not referring to them or their actions in a positive way. In-laws have received
a bad title by many. I have been extremely blessed in the fact that my soon to
be in-laws seem to be really relaxed about thing and our personalities seem to
mesh well so far.
One thing that I have tried to do in order to create a
positive relationship with my soon to be in-laws is to show them respect, after
all, they are the ones that were responsible for making my fiancé into the man
he is today. If it was not for them and their hard work, determination, and
probably some sleepless night I would not have the man that I have in my life
today. Things could have been a lot different. Ultimately it is important that
you both show respect towards one another and build a good relationship.
