Some cultural things. One thing to watch out for is if your spouse and her relatives talk a lot about "money". It's an indication of how tight the family financial knot is.
Example: when my in-laws our her, they always refer to my wife and I's house as "our" house (meaning me, wife,wife-'s inlaw). When a stock is making money it's also "our" stock. A sucker stock is "my stock" though. It's really irritating. My parents (god bless them) have been westernized thankfully and don't do this.
