What I Love About My In-Laws
No, but really, they are pretty awesome
I married far above my pay grade. From her jaw-dropping, heart-stopping beauty the first moment I ever saw her, to the depth of her personality I noticed in the first conversation we had, I was smitten from the beginning.
It’s been an amazing journey with many ups and downs. We’ve learned a lot together along the way and our love grows stronger and stronger the more we progress together on this journey together.
But one of my favorite things about my wife will always be her Family. I feel like so many of us come to this adversarial relationship with our in-laws, and I wish it wasn’t so. There is so much good to be found in in-law relationships.
I hope that this will help you start to look at why you might be grateful for your in-laws.
They have given us so much
Let alone the fact that they gave me, the perfectionist, depressed man that I can be much of the time, one of their four precious daughters, they just continue to give.
Just four months after meeting my wife they invited me to join them on a trip to California. I remember offering to pay my ticket into Disneyland, and my then future father-in-law letting me know that I didn’t need to worry about it.
