"My Father-in-Law is exactly like my husband, just 20 years older. It's so eerie. I've never met a father and son who look so much alike. They even have a lot of the same interests. " - Elena M.
"When my father died, my father-in-law told me that he knew my dad loved me very much and that until I could be with my dad again, he would be there for me like my dad always was." - Jennifer P.
"My FIL is very old-school and he used to intimidate me. One day instead of shaking hands when I saw him I gave him a huge hug. He was caught off-guard-but our relationship completely changed and now we're really close!" - Irene H.
"I've become just as close to my FIL as I am to my actual dad!" - Rachel D.
"He has the same quirky (and annoying) habits as my husband. Mainly, they both tell terrible jokes that they think are hilarious." - Kate V.
