In your opinion, is it immoral for ';inlaws'; to give advice to a married couple?

It's not immoral but I think it's intrusive if the inlaws aren't asked. If my parents gave me unsolicited marital advice I think I'd say 'well, since I've seen your marriage for 38 years would you mind if I gave you a few friendly suggestions after your finished with me?'. Just my thoughts (((On a Diet)))In your opinion, is it immoral for ';inlaws'; to give advice to a married couple?
Parents and in-laws (partner's parents) have lived longer than you and should have more basic wisdom from life experiences. If they have successfully worked out their problems, they can give hints that might help you through trials in your married life. There are no classes really dealing on married life, and the more elder ones have worked out many problems you can avoid if you listen.





It is immoral for younger couples not to listen and then consider what the more elderly say about what was good in their lives and what failed.In your opinion, is it immoral for ';inlaws'; to give advice to a married couple?
It's not immoral. It can be inappropriate if the advice is unsolicited. It can be annoying if the advice is wrong.





My rule of thumb about advising my adult children, married or not, has been: If they don't ask, I keep my mouth shut even if I think they are heading for trouble.





The end result of this has been that I'm good friends with my children. We trust each other. When I need advice about things they know more about than I do, I can ask them.
Dear Uncle, I wish my husband's parents were alive. They were lovely, Christian folks. I feel certain any advice they would have offered us would be heartfelt and helpful.





My parents never give my sister or me marital advice. Unless we ask. One time I asked my mother why she and dad never gave me advice when I was young. Told her it would have been welcomed and possibly saved me heartache. She told me: ';Each of us must make our own way, hopefully be successful. When you make mistakes, which you surely will. It is up to you work it out. If you are smart, learn a hard lesson.'; :)

My experiences with my inlaws have certainly left me feeling that they were crossing boundaries they should not cross. I am trying so hard right now to forgive them and move on. I want to be able to reflect love back to them when they are so fearful (that is why they try to control).
Not immoral, but if it's sex advice it certainly is creepy.





Advice about children? Not immoral, but often laughable.





The rest is fair as long as they don't expect you to take it.





*pets wayne's furry head*
To only one half of the married couple are these people ';inlaws';. To the other half of the couple, they're known as ';parents';.





Giving unsolicited advice is impolite but I'd hardly term it *immoral*.
if the don't ask for it, it just wrong!





I won't give my daughter %26amp; son-in-law advice unless they ask for it.





I wish my mother-in-law would shut up at times. It none of her business the number of children our daughter CHOOSES to have.
It is normal for parents and inlaws to give advice about love %26amp; marriage.





The couple is in no way obligated to listen to the advice...
I wish my MIL was still around. I miss her. =0(





I think that if the advice is solicited, it's ok. If not, it's interfering.
No, but it's definitely nosy if the advice is unasked for.
I wouldn't say it is immoral. But unsolicited advice is never welcome. God Bless...
It completely depends on the advice.
oh yeah! definitely! :)
Immoral? No. Just annoying. Just smile and listen, then do what you want.
not immoral, more likely worth questioning though.
It is not polite, unless asked.
No, why would it be? You don't have to follow the advice and they may have some good ideas.
no but its not their business either unless asked..
Only if not asked.
only when i don't agree with the advice.
