I have to admit, I really liked this book. I did have to wait for it for almost a year and had even given up on it, but despite that, I really liked it. My teenage children are beginning to bring their boyfriends and girlfriends around the house, and when I was reading the book, I thought that I could even apply the principles the author suggests to male children-in-law, too. Recommended reading for any woman that has to face that daunting task of letting her children go (

This is a well-written book with an intelligent, conversational style, clear thoughts, some research, and well-organized thoughts and highlighted points and summaries. This book is NOT a "bash your in-laws" book and really stays on the positive side of the issue or dealing with families. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is becoming an in-law. Although written for women, this book contains sound personal relationship advice for all adult members of an extended family and would be outstandingly good for the son and father-in-law to read too. The only down-side to this book is that the people who need to read it the most and get and practice its message would never pick up this book! (

This book is designed to help mothers -in-law develop positive relationships with their daughters-in-law. It's based primarily on anecdotal information from the internet wedding site "The Knot." The book grew out of the author's need for guidance on the occassion of her son's marriage. It's curious that a book about relationships only addresses one side of the relationship. It would have been worthwhile to broaden the scope of the book to include what daughters-in-law can do to improve relationships with their mothers-in-law.

It's a slight book (you can read in one sitting)not only in volume but also in content. The advice is largely commonsense and could have been offered without the "research" conducted via "the Knot". Overall I found it a fairly shallow treatment of a subject that must surely has more depth and nuance than what's provided in this book. (

This is a basic “how-to” book, with a superficial step-by-step approach. The suggestions are solid and common sense, and the strength of the book is in the basic idea of establishing a positive relationship at the very beginning. The book is short and easy to read, a good portion consists of bullet point approaches to various situations, and quotes from website postings.

The suggested approach is based upon common sense ideas of establishing any kind of positive relationship—listening, sensitivity, and flexibility. There are some examples of common situations such as wedding planning or first baby. However the weakness of the book is the lack of information for those who may be struggling with a more challenging situation. I would like to see better examples of how to manage in a less than ideal situation. Some of the quotes that are included suggest a very challenging situation, but these are used mostly in the context of how important it is to avoid getting into such situations, rather than how to manage if one finds oneself in such a situation.

I really like this book! The simple language and down to earth tone made it easy to digest. Most "how To ....boks regarding family relationships are usually filled with what to do when to do, etc. This book flowed with day-to-day living and suggestions to get along without taking sides. As parents we often side with our children. However, this book spoke of how a relatioship can be beautiful and for filling between a mother-in-law and daughter in law. This would be an excellent book for those women who find themselves constantly buttin in their childrens lives.

Amanda, when you got engaged, I told everybody I ran into that my son was marrying a wonderful woman, and I was looking forward to having a great relationship with her.

Introduction
How It All Began
Listen to ten of your married female friends, and you'll soon discover that at least six of them struggle in their relationships with either their mother-in-law or their daughter-in-law. How can it be that in 2008, the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law duo is still one of the most maligned and feared relationships for more than 36 million married women? As 2.4 million women say "I do" each and every year, statistics suggest that more than a million of these new recruits join the army of malcontents waging war against their husband's mother every year. That is such a shame, given that the two women at war were brought together in the first place by their shared love for one man -- the son of one and the husband of the other.
