re: How do y'all marry people and hate their parents?

I guess I just look it as you are not just marrying the person, you are marrying the family as well.

I've always found this to be an odd blanket statement. It may work for some, but it even being the rule of thumb is a bit much.

I didn't marry my wife's family. I married my wife. If she gave a shite one way or another how I felt about her parents, we probably wouldn't have lasted too long and have gotten married. Luckily, that has no part in our compatibility.
