After marriage, a new life is not only between you and your partner, but also with the couple's family. As a daughter-in-law, of course you want your relationship with your in-laws to be harmonious and far from conflict, right?
Therefore, it is important for you to know how to build communication with your in-laws. Like what? Here's how below!
1. Often Invites In-laws to Chat
In order to establish good communication with your in-laws, of course you need to often talk to your in-laws. It doesn't have to be a heavy conversation, just a light chat, such as asking about cooking, about your partner's childhood, or about a photo of your in-laws' youth hanging in one corner of the house.
By often inviting in-laws to chat, it is hoped that your relationship with your in-laws can be more intimate.
2. Frequently Giving News
For those of you who don't live at home with your parents-in-law, especially in far away places, don't forget to tell your parents-in-law often. Whether it's by phone, chat, or video call.
By giving each other the news, your relationship with your in-laws will not be stiff and tenuous. In fact, it will make the relationship between in-laws and daughter-in-law more harmonious.
In addition, don't forget to often take the time to visit your parents-in-law's house. This will certainly please your in-laws, because they are often visited.
3. Set Limits
After marriage, you also need to set boundaries in communicating with in-laws. No matter how close your relationship with your in-laws is, don't be too open to your in-laws about your household problems.
Too open to the in-laws about the problems that occur, especially if the issue is sensitive enough, it is feared that it will only add to an even bigger problem.
4. Respect Different Opinions
Especially those of you who live with in-laws, will usually experience various differences, including differences of opinion about something.
However, whatever it is is not a big problem if faced wisely. Especially considering that everyone certainly has different thoughts from each other. Therefore, try to respect any differences that exist between you and your in-laws.
5. Asking for Advice
When you are facing something or a problem in your household, then there is nothing wrong if you ask for advice or advice from your in-laws. Your mother-in-law will be happy because she feels respected and needed by her daughter-in-law.
Those are some ways to build a good relationship with in-laws. Are you ready after this?
