An Indian marriage doesn't just mean that two couples get married; it means that their families get married too. So, ask your in-laws what they expect their 'adarsh bahu' to be like and whether you can oblige with their opinions. Figure out whether they want you to live with them or if you can live separately. Make a decision based on all these facts.

While you may not have thought of having kids anytime soon, it's all the more important that you know what your partner things about having kids. Your partner also has a say in this seeing as how if you have children they're going to be both of yours. So, make sure that you both come to an understanding on this.
