I read posts from time to time about MIL issues. Not sure if this belongs here but here goes:
Thou shalt love, honor and respect the new couple.
Thou shalt allow them complete independence
Thou shalt speak only kindly and loyally about them.
Thou shalt not find fault.
Thou shalt not visit them too frequently, and never enter their home without knocking.
Thou shalt not expect them to visit you too often.
Thou shalt not give advice unless requested.
Thou shalt not mention how much you look forward to grandchildren.
Thou shalt respect their taste in home decorating, through it differs from your own.
Thou shalt petition daily the Heavenly Father, in whose love they abide, for their happiness.
I think this was in Dear Abby's column years ago. I found it in my jewelry box.
