[quote=Anonymous]At the time when we decided to get marry, I did not think of "marrying into family" idea.  But, as we processed our pre-wedding/post-wedding necessities, I did thought about having a healthy in-law family is a must for the sustainable marriage.  For example, had I married a man whose family has another child who has a criminal record, my family would probably objected it.  Or, if any of the in-law family has a financial issue (tendency to borrow money from anywhere/everyone and not returning), that is a big No No.

Plus, had I married into a wrong in-law family, it may had jeopardized the marriage of my siblings.  The future in-law family of my siblings may object to be in a in-law relationship with a sister who married into a wrong family.  (there is a bit of cultural stuff in it).  Or, current hot topic of the "my MIL is moving 5 min from my house", if your in-law family is dysfunctional, you don't have a chance at healthy marriage of your own.

So, when I think about this, I firmly believe that "marring into a family" has merits and I would want to know bit more extensive history of in-law family before marring the partner.[/quote]
