Is It Right To Leave Your In-Laws House And Live Seperately In The Same City?

Mark 10:7 says "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife." I would say that it is perfectly alright. The Lord Himself declared it. God in His infinite wisdom could have already foreseen such relationship problems and thus, has declared His guiding Word to prevent such problems from occurring.

Of course it's right. Well, at least in my opinion anyway. Where I live, it's actually very uncommon to find a couple who are living with their in-laws, and I have yet to meet anybody who does. Personally, I would hate having to live with my in-laws because I can just imagine the amount of arguments and conflict that would occur. Saying that we don't always see eye-to-eye is a huge understatement, and I would dread it if I ever had to rely on them for shelter. Though, despite this, I wouldn't live without them because generally, they can be great people.

In laws always seem to be a problem to a lot of people and its because they just don't keep things to themselves. They always interfere with their younger married couples and that's a real strain on a relationship. Its really always better to strike out on your own.

Hi priyavivek! I don't see anything wrong about that. Even thou renting is a bit expensive, I think it is just right for you to leave seperately with the parents of your husband. You are family now, it is is just wise to build and be independent. Sometimes, yes living with in laws causes some conflicts... so just to avoid those circumstances, better move out. Living seperately with them doesn't necessarily means keeping them away or detouching their bonds to their son or grandchildren...

hi priya, why not, depend on their situation, most of the people is staying each other still inbetween them some misunderstanding is going on, i don't like to stay like that. so, better stay out of in-laws, every weekend they might meet eachother and spend with them, it will be better. thankyou, have a nice day.

Hi priyavivek. I think it all depends. For me, i get along very well with my inlaws,so i live together with them. They can take care of my baby for me and prepare dinner. I really appriciate them. Of course, not every one can get along well with their in laws. If not. I think live seperately is a way to prevent unhappiness. Sometimes distance makes everyone comfortable. Have a nice one.

I think it is a cultural thing to live with your in-laws. I understand that the custom in India until recently was and still is in many cases for the new bride to move into the compound or house of the groom. Times have changed and young women all over the world are getting an education, a means to make a living for themselves as professionals. They are no longer dependend solely on a husband and his family. So I understand if a new bride moves into the household of her husband her mother in law is in charge and the new bride in many cases is treated badly, or at least without the respect that she is used to getting at school or at her job. Right away this creates unhappiness and in those cases it is much better to rent an apartment with your new husband and visit the in-laws when it is convenient for both families. I live in the West and it is not the norm to live with your parents or in-laws once you are an adult. I got married when my husband was still attending university. The in-laws suggested that we live with them but it would not have worked out at all. We rented a tiny apartment and were very happy there. When my own children went to university they also moved away and came back only for brief periods of time during vacations. Now my son is married lives in the same city as I and I have an excellent relationship with my daughter in-law. I visit often when I am invited and they come and visit me when I invite them. We like it that way.

hi priyhavivek here in the US we feel we have the right to leave our parents and our inlaws to make our own families in' our own apartments or houses. we do not live with all our relatives.we tend to leave home when we grow up and make our own families. I guess where you are the customs are very different and I am not at all judging as this is your way and the above is our way. I do think that too many women related like that in one household just usually means a lot of trouble as various generations will think differently 'and quarrels become an every day occurence. too many cooks spoil the broth or the marriage too.

I think it is ok to live wherever you want no matter what. Besides it's not like you really have to see them if you don't want to.

In the states it is rare for a couple to live with either set of parents. Of coarse there are pros and cons to either situation, but I do not think it is wrong for a couple to live outside of a parental home. We do not live in a time where it is (on most occasions) financially needed and although many cultures still hold living this way as tradition, it is not needed to be done if the situation doesn't work well. Life is too short to live in a stressful situation. I have lived with my in laws and although we got on OK I could not of done so for longer then the few months that I did.

I think it's OK. That's probably the thing that I would do. If I have my own family, I would definitely try and live on a house with only my family. I am not being selfish but it's justmaybe the best thing to do. To be independent and have decisions only by you and your husband, you have to detach yourelf from the in-laws.

That is the best arrangement for giving space to each other and at the same time being there whenever either are in need of each other. Living under one roof is not the best thing really as there are bound to be problems due to the generation gap.

I dont see anything wrong if a couple decides to live in separate house even within the same street or neighborhood. New couples just have to learn to live on their own regardless if they dont go well with their in laws. The new couple just have to learn to create their own family through their own way , principles and discipline
