It is really depends on the family tradition,some after their wedding wive lives with the mother in law, others choose to live their own house. In the Philippines, where I grow up, I have notice that some I know that just getting married, they have to live with their mother in law for couple of months or so if they cannot afford the house to live in yet.Once they can buy their own house,now they are ready to leave their mother in law's house. For me, it is also depends on the choices or decision between the husband a wife, they both should  agree where to live when and what are the circumstances.  It's not easy to live in mother in law house,because you would not feel comfortable even though they the parent of your husband. Some men do not understand this feeling or completely ignoring it. But it is wise to talk about where to live before getting married.

I think this has to do with some people's culture and tradition. So this might seem right within their community. Personally, I do not see the need for that. I'm not sure the main purpose of that practice. Like, if the couple are already married, she'll eventually go to live with her husband after all. So if it is to ascertain if she's going to be a good wife, the purpose would have been defeated.

However, in modern times, people like to make their own decisions in terms of a life partner. Hence, regardless of what other think or whatever opinions that they might have, they'll still be with the one they love.

I think that this has become an outdated practice. It really doesn't help anything but could even cause problems and misunderstanding within the family.

That is the worst thing to ever happen. It is such a bad idea if i can say that. Many are the times we have been told or have heard , that there are wicked mother's inlaw out here, so wicked that they cannot let their daughters inlaw live in peace in their homes. You as a husband, would you let your new wife go and spend her first days with your mother? Seriously if there is a man who would answer yes to that question must be very insensitive. If i were a man, the minute we walk out of that church with rings on our fingers everybody else takes a back seat for the first few months, there there is no negotiating about it. I need to spend time with my wife pamper her as she does the same for me. We are just getting to familiarize ourselves with marriage, why would i whisk her to my mum? No that's very wrong. It's like throwing her away from you, stay with her and enjoy your honeymoon peacefully.

No this isn't a good idea. But of course, staying there for one or two days per month can be good especially during the early days of the marriage. We all know mother on laws can be very hectic and you might find yourself giving up on marriage very early. 

Staying with your mother in law for some few days will enable you to bond and get to know each other better. Making a good relationship with your mother in-law can help you build or destroy your marriage. It's all about persistence for any relationship to succeed.

This depends on the culture of a given community. In the past, the tradition was carried on well but nowadays due to modernization and many factors, it has lost meaning and daughters in law cannot live with their mothers in laws. It's hard though.

Most daughters-in-law wished not to be living with their mothers-in-law. It is because they usually clash with each other and it is not healthy.

Why should they clash and she has become part of that family.

I think they should have their own house, and keep visiting mother in law and show respect, and invite her to their house from time to time, and never ignore her.

I like this idea since some daughter in law may not feel comfortable with their mother in law. Visiting each other's house over the weekend is perfect idea .

I don't think it's right for a newly wedded wife to spend more time with her mother - inlaw, after her wedding should enjoy that early stage of her marriage.

As much as possible the new wife should not live with her mother-in-law to avoid any future friction. Since the mother-in-law is always correct most of the time. She can only what are the defects of her daughter-in-law. But if they are in a good relationship from the start I don't think there will be a problem between them. What is important is to maintain a good relationship in the present and future. The new wife doesn't have to live with her mother-in-law just to get along well with each other. They can still build a good relationship with one another even before the new wife comes into their family.

When two people have married they should make their own decisions on where and how to live.So cultural beliefs and traditions are killing good marriages.

The decision to live with a mother-in-law, or to spend time with her before moving in with a spouse, is a personal one that depends on the individuals involved and their relationship. Some people find it beneficial to spend time with a mother-in-law in order to build a strong relationship and to better understand each other's needs and expectations. Others may prefer to live independently, either with their spouse or on their own.

In some cultures and families, it is traditional for a new bride to live with her mother-in-law for a period of time, while in others it is not. The most important thing is to have open and honest communication between all parties involved and to respect each other's boundaries and needs.

If you're considering living with your mother-in-law, it's important to discuss the arrangement with both your spouse and your mother-in-law to ensure that everyone is comfortable and that there is a clear understanding of expectations and responsibilities. If there are any concerns or potential issues, it's better to address them early on in order to avoid misunderstandings or conflicts down the line.

No, I think that a woman should spend time with her mother-in-law before going to live with her husband. One reason may be because the woman may feel uncomfortable around that sort of person. Another reason may be that the woman may feel that the mother-in-law is too old-fashioned and may not be asoris [sic] for the modern world.

 I think this depends on a number of factors and culture where you grew up from. If you feel comfortable staying with your mother in law then that is find if you do not feel comfortable then it is okay to live with your husband. If you work in the same neighbor where your parents in law stay i think you can stay with them since it will save you rent.
