If you’re serious about marriage, it’s always good to remember you don’t just marry her, you marry her family, for all intents and purposes.

Now I agree this was taken way to the extreme. But I think if people returned to more traditional ways of courtship, the world would be a better place.

After my drive by comment, those are good thoughts. How she relates to her father and mother will tell you a lot. She will become the mother and treat you like her father. Better to know up front.

The “suegra” has pretty much lived with us since we married. The kids adore her, and with both of us working, I don’t know how we would have coped without her.
