It can still be a good marriage, but getting on will help :-) sometimes this can be hard, but its worth it in the end.

It helps in family functions and things like that, but make sure you bond with your husband first.

I think it's important to have a cordial relationship with your Mother-in-Law - better to have a friendly relationship. I get along well with my partner's Mom, and we are very friendly - I care about them, but I don't have any sort of relationship with them that I have with my folks... It's never a good idea to battle with you in-Laws... you put your spouse in a nearly impossible situation - and one where you have a very good chance of losing out...

If you don't click with your mother in law, the marriage can still be good -- as long as your husband can support your position, and not side with his mother.

As long as you love and respect your mother in law, and you feel confident that you remain the lady of your home (or mother, I'm not sure if you have children). If you feel that you are respected also that is very significant, this is crucial to any relationship. It she is critical in words and actions, acting insecure or jealous, your kindness and confidence can be a step above those actions. If she is trying to control, stand firm on what you and yoru husbnad decide! Depending on how mature your mother in law is, I think that yes, you could actually be fine and functioning fine. It might be difficult to be best friends with his family, but you will be just fine, and a lady of your home! What is important I think is that your family is yours and your husbands' and you make your choices together, & without her interference. ~Deborah
