Marriage is sweeter when your parents-in-law love you. Sometimes both men and women struggle to earn their in-laws' love.
Here are five ways to make your parents-in-law love you.
1. Don't show disappointment in them
You might have learned that they don't really like you. What do you do next? Do not show them that you are disappointed in them by showing emotions because by doing so, you will only escalate the situation. Be gentle and polite towards them.
2. Lower your expectations of them
You have to understand that they are not your parents and so you have to lower your expectations of them. Keep that in mind so that you don't expect too much from them.
3. Avoid unnecessary confrontations
Confrontation is a poison when it comes to building a relationship with your in-laws. In order to win their approval, you need to maintain maximum politeness whenever you are around them.
4. Show them that you are a good spouse to their child
For women, you can do this by visiting frequently, taking them gifts and above all treating their son well. For the men, limit how many times she runs back home because you had a fight with her. In general, be good to your spouse.
5. Speak nicely about their son, daughter
When you visit them, always speak nicely about their child. Saying good things about their child (who is your spouse) will endear you to them. Avoid saying negative things about your partner.
