how often do you visit your in-laws?

Married couples always have this dilemma. "Should we visit them?" and if the answer is yes, the next question is probably "When and how often?" - I guess once we're married, we tie the knot not only to our beloved wife but also to her family & relatives. Often married couples are in a dilemma because they have their own lives to lead, yet they have to make sure they make their respective in-laws as well as their own parents happy. To make things worse, some in-laws insist that we visit them even though we've a tight schedule or we just feel like being together alone. There's only one thing to do if I were you. Just decline their invitation and do it politely. Tell them that you'll visit them another day. Give them a specific day and make sure you keep your promise! By doing so, at least they feel better. If they nag at you, just listen. As long as you visit them, and they know that you care for them, they'll eventually not force you to visit them. That's what I intend to do when my parents-in-law moves down closer to my home!!! p/s: No wonder married couples want to live far away from their in-laws.
