For many people, in-law relationships are quite tricky to navigate. In fact, a 2022 research article revealed that men and women in the United States reported more conflict with their mothers-in-law than their own mothers.
But this isn’t always the case. Others live harmoniously with the families they married into. Some even form unique bonds, many of which are captured in these photos. A lot of these are shared moments of everyday life, from adorable quirks to memorable Christmas gifts.
If you have a pleasant relationship with your in-laws, these images may warm your heart and put a smile on your face.

Statistics show that conflict in relationships with in-laws is more common among women. A 2022 BBC report shared a study by psychologist Terri Apter, pointing out that 60% of women admitted to experiencing “long-term unhappiness and stress” because of their ties with female in-laws.
Two-thirds of women also believed their mothers-in-law “exhibited jealous maternal love towards their son.” And out of the 75% of the couples that reported issues with an in-law, only 15% involved men and their mothers-in-law.

But what could be the reason behind these strained relationships? According to a Finnish study, child-rearing is one of the root causes. Tension is common between young married couples with children, and it supposedly begins after the birth of their firstborn.
According to the study, most of these conflicts happen because the child's birth causes grandparents to "influence and interfere in the lives of other family members."

A few experts spoke to NPR in 2022 and listed five common issues that people face with their spouse’s family, the first one being having nitpicky in-laws. New York-based therapist and writer Moraya Seeger DeGeare advises being open-minded and finding a compromise. Her top tip is to just say “thank you.”
“If someone is genuinely trying to be helpful, responding with snarky comments is not a great way to foster a relationship. Just say thank you and continue to go about your day.

I'm non-religious and anytime I've ever heard hung-Ho Christians discussing atheism and agnosticism, they invariably make it plain that without going to church people can't truly be moral. They say this exact thing: how can you be moral without strictly following the religious rules as they see them. Uh, no, guys. I can manage to not be an AH, respect others and do good in the world when I'm able, without religion

Mother-In-Law Just Served Me This Piece Of Cake
One common cause of fights between married couples is the in-laws who want every holiday spent with them. According to DeGeare, a 50-50 split may not always work, especially if the two sides of the family live far apart.
Instead, she advises compromising with your spouse. The worst-case scenario would be spending the holidays with just one side of the family this year and then switching things up the next year.
"It becomes a sore spot when someone's not there, and people don't know why. Tell your family you're going to try something new this year, and if it doesn't work, we can try something different next year."

A bit ago I learned that Marie Antoinette never said, "let them eat cake," it was her mother-in-law. I told my mother, but she didn't get it, so I explained, "Imagine going down in history for something your mother-in-law said." THIS SHE GOT.
