TIPS TO HAVE A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR IN-LAWS

We live in a family and it is common for family members to fight. In-laws can be difficult to handle. Read on to know what challenges we face and how to overcome them.

NORMAL ISSUE THAT FAMILIES HAVE

• You may be too busy looking after everyone and not get time for yourself
• There is very little privacy which may affect your relationship with your husband

• Have personal time so that your relationship with your husband doesn't get affected
• Help your in-laws in day-to-day work or other activities
• Don't force your ways on them or expect to change their routines
• Stay out of your in-law's family issues if they don't involve you
• Plan outings and activities for the whole family to make the bond stronger
