[quote=Anonymous]OP, it really would be helpful if you would explain more what you're looking for when you return.  What problems are you seeing?

I grew up solidly lower middle class, and my ILs have lots of money.  This manifests in a number of ways in our relationship: I feel constantly insecure about money and am very frugal (thus annoying my husband), my husband has difficulty relating to and fitting in with my family, I can embarrass his parents by not understanding how to dress for certain occasions, we have different perspectives on the importance of our children attending private or "top" schools and colleges, our ideas of a good vacation are vastly different ...  I definitely think these differences make our relationship more difficult than it would be if we came from the same background.  I think we nonetheless have a healthy relationship because of the underlying respect and willingness to compromise.  In some ways, I do still think my marriage is an anthropological experiment some times; interesting new things crop up all the time.[/quote]
