Book review: Things I wish I'd known before we got married
CHAPTER 10
(Permit me to jump to this chapter)
If you think that after the wedding it will just be the two of you, your thinking is wrong. You are marrying into a family, for better or for worse. Her family does not disappear the day after the wedding. Both parents may allow you to have few days for a honeymoon alone but after that, they will expect to be part of your lives. In some non-western cultures, parental involvement is more pronounced and overt. In some cases, the bride actually moves into the house with her husband and his parents and lives there indefinitely. After all, the dowry has been paid, and she belongs to his family. His mother will teach her how to be the wife he needs. In Western culture, in-law relationship are not rigidly formalized but nonetheless real.
