In-laws: A deep social interaction of "non-relatives".
In Chinese family culture, kinship has always been regarded as a special and important social relationship. However, in real life, many people tend to understand the relationship of in-laws simply as a "relative" relationship, and this misunderstanding may lead to some unnecessary contradictions and conflicts. Therefore, we need to re-examine the nature of the kinship relationship in order to better maintain this deep social relationship.
1. The relationship between relatives and family is not a simple relationship of kinship.
A family relationship is a family relationship derived from the marriage relationship of children. Although there is a certain blood or in-law relationship between the in-laws, this relationship is different from ordinary kinship. The relationship between in-laws and families is more complex, delicate and sensitive.
First of all, the interaction between in-laws and families is not limited to traditional ways such as family gatherings and holiday greetings. Modern in-laws pay more attention to daily interaction and communication, such as keeping in touch through **, WeChat, text messages, etc., and sharing each other's lives and emotions.
Secondly, there may be differences between in-laws in terms of family background, living Xi habits, values, etc. Therefore, in the process of getting along, it is necessary to pay attention to each other's differences, respect each other's Xi and opinions, and not simply equate the kinship relationship with the "relative" relationship and ignore each other's differences.
2. Several suggestions for maintaining the relationship between relatives and families.
Mutual respect: Relatives should respect each other's living Xi habits, values, etc., and do not try to change or blame each other. At the same time, respect the other person's privacy and personal space, and do not interfere too much in the other person's life.
Equal communication: Establish an equal communication relationship between in-laws, listen to each other's opinions and ideas, and do not use their own subjective wishes to influence each other. At the same time, pay attention to the way and tone of communication, and maintain a calm and sincere attitude.
Care more about each other: Relatives should care more about each other's life and emotional state, such as greeting each other's physical condition, family situation, etc. At the same time, we should also pay attention to each other's interests and Xi habits in order to better understand and get close to each other's lives.
Avoid conflicts of interest: Try to avoid conflicts of interest between relatives, especially when it comes to financial issues. If there is a disagreement or contradiction, both parties should communicate calmly and seek a reasonable solution, rather than escalating the problem or becoming emotional.
The role of children: Children play an important role as a bridge in the relationship between parents and families. Children should pay more attention to the emotional state and life needs of both parents, and help them establish better communication and interaction relationships. At the same time, children should also pay attention to maintaining the harmony and stability of both families in family life.
3. Summary. The kinship relationship is a special kind of deep social relationship, which involves the happiness of children and the harmony of the family. However, many people tend to understand this relationship simply as a "relative" relationship, thus ignoring the differences and deep interactions between in-laws. In order to better maintain this relationship, we need to re-examine the nature of the in-laws and take positive steps to build a more harmonious and equal in-law relationship. By respecting each other, communicating on an equal footing, caring for each other, avoiding conflicts of interest, and giving full play to the role of our children, we can better maintain the relationship between our parents and lay a solid foundation for our children's happiness and family harmony.
