How to Fix a Bad Relationship with In-laws
1. Reach an agreement with your spouse that you are going to work on repairing your in-law relationship as a united couple. 2. Make a list of past events that have injured the relationship. Forgive and forget, but also learn from the events. 3. Set clear boundaries as a couple about what is acceptable behavior for your in-laws. Communicate these boundaries to your in-laws when necessary. |

4. Take time to get to know your in-laws. With knowledge comes greater understanding of these people and their behavior. 5. Be polite and treat your in-laws with dignity and respect even if you don't like them. 6. Learn to accept advice from your in-laws graciously even if you have no intention of following it: "Thank you for your thoughtful suggestion." 7. Always give your in-laws another chance. Set new limits if necessary after a negative encounter, but keep the bond alive. |
