Maintaining a good relationship with your in-laws,
especially mother-in-law and
sister-in-law is tricky affair. Sometimes it becomes so difficult to maintain a
healthy relationship. Most of the
time, we are very much worried building a good relationship with mother-in-law,
but meanwhile we ignore another important relationship, your sister-in-law.
Whether you live in the same house or she is married, still you should try to
maintain good relationship with her. It is really important to remain
emotionally close and in constant touch if you are staying separately. If you
think that your relationship with your husband’s sister is not that perfect and
you want to focus on that here are some important tips to bond well with your
sister-in-law.
Make a friendly call
whenever you are free: If you are not able to meet her frequently and you
meet her only on festivals or long weekends, make sure that you call her up
during weekends and off to make this relationship healthy. Talk something
generic and of common interest. Enquire about her office life if she is
working, talk about her husband, kids and other common topics.
Go out on lunch or
dinner: If you are living separately, going out on dinner or lunch during
weekends could be great option to spend some quality time together. Meeting up
outside the home could be a good option to ease your tension. It is a good way
to spend some quality time together and strengthen your bonding with her and
her family. This way you will be able to know per personally, rather knowing her
as sister of your husband.
Share some recipes:
If you think that your sister-in-law is a good cook, don’t forget to ask her
that recipe. You can ask her how to cook it or you can also share your favorite
recipe too with her.
Don’t forget to wish
her on Birthday & anniversary: It is important that you don’t forget or
miss her birthday and anniversary dates. These are some important and special
days, so you can’t afford to miss them. You can make a call to her or you can
send a gift to her or throw a small party to give her a sweet surprise on her
birthday or anniversary.
Involve your husband:
If you think that your relationship with your sister-in-law is not that cool,
you can ask your husband to get involved in this and help you in streamlining
your relationship with her.
Share more and ask
for advice: If you think that you are stuck somewhere and she is the one
who can help you out then don’t hesitate to take her help and her suggestions
on the issue. Build a good level of understanding with her and share your
problems and issues with her. If you
think she is capable enough to give you solution for your problem then go ahead
and involve her.
Shop together and
party together: This is one thing we all females love to do. You can ask
her to join you for shopping. She can help you in choosing your dress, you can
hang round, do some shopping and window shopping as well. Relax, enjoy and
spend some quality time.
