I don't know if i'm the kind of person you want to get advice from, because I don't have in-laws, only step parents, but i'll do what I can. I personally don't believe it's very difficult to get along with new elders simply because it's just like dealing with a girlfriend or boyfriends parents. Just treat them like you normally would, with tremendous amounts of respect. I suppose the level of respect required of you would ultimately depend upon the attitude of the in laws though most are pretty reasonable. Just remember that as long as you and your spouse are happy, then you shouldn't have any problems with the in lawsl if they're reasonable. This is because they care about the well being of their son/daughter and if their attitude towards you is causing harm to their daughter then they probably will realize this and stop. They don't have to like you, they just have to be good parents towards their kids. :) Hope I helped a little!

dealing with mother and father in laws is just like dealing you parents too, but have limitations of course because in laws are not your biological parents. i have a wonderful in laws and i don't have any problems with them because they do not interfere us, they are not nuisance, they are just ready if we are going to call their help. some inlaws are nuisance, they want to be with your family and interfere every happenings in your own family as if you treating you just like a child who doesn't know how to raise a family, so if you have in laws just like them, better live in a place which is far from them to avoid resentments.
