(Full disclosure, MH3K, 20 yrs in March, Married, house, 3 kids, Married at 30 and only once. isn't that enough! LOL)
1st congrats on the impending nuptials.
Reminds me something my boss told me when I was 16 about marriage. Billy said.
Marriage, the 1st year is great, breakfast in bed, love all the time. 2nd year is still pretty good. 3rd year, your wife starts to agree with your MIL and your "screwed".
Having said that remember 2 things,
"wife" is a four letter word and marriage is a life long sentence!
Just kidding. Marriage can be wonderful. In-laws can be too! My MIL, God Bless her, was sweet. just like her daughter. My FIL supportive and respectful.
My poor wife had to endure my mother, who, was to be respectful, a difficult person.
I will assume, as you are asking this question, your future MIL and you do not see eye to eye.
As most have said, Love, cherish and take good care of your wife and the MIL will respect you even if she doesn't show it.
Bite your tongue except to defend your wife if MIL is disrespectful, cruel etc. to her. In that case stand up for your marriage and your wife and leave or drive your MIL home. Do not tolerate disrespect of your wife from anyone! PERIOD.
If possible, which in these times is hard, do not live with your MIL/FIL. That has been the ruin of many marriages that otherwise would have been fine.
Try to hold off on having kids until you have been married at least a few years. This is important for 2 reasons. 1. It allows you and your wife to build a strong bond with many fond memories that sustain your marriage later. Once kids come it gets a lot harder. 2. On the slim chance you find your not compatible it makes for a lot less messy to dissolve the marriage and in some cases leaves annulment open as a option.
