Is the bride's Mom a nice person? If the answer is yes, then why not? Does the groom have a bad temper? If the answer is yes, then it's definitely good to have the bride's Mom live nearby, so the bride can escape to her now and then.
In our case my husband's mother lives next door. We had a really hard time with each other in the past, but just recently she had to find a place to live and because our studio (attached to main house) was empty, she moved in. Tonight we have to attend a formal dinner.... my four year old either walks over to her place or she comes over. Very convenient indeed.

Is the bride's mom disabled or in need of care?
If not, then the answer would be "NO." The couple's house does not need to be near the bride's mom. If the bride 'needs' that type of proximity to her mother, then quite honestly, I would wonder about her maturity. And if that mom 'needs' that proximity to her daughter, you can kiss the marriage goodbye for the long term.
As the reading at many a wedding goes, "shall leave their father and mother and cleave unto each other." There is a strong reason for those words -- a marriage cannot survive if one of the parties is still so strongly attached to a parent that they cannot make a break from them and have as their primary emotional attachment their spouse.

it depends very much on the relationship between them and also on the type of person she is- if she's a nosy parker she will make the rules in the couple's home too!
in general it's good for a couple to have their own place, not very close to either parents. you have to learn how to face life as a couple and not as mummy's babies any more. if you really want a nice marriage, don't run away from parents but don't live too close to them either.
good luck and be wise enough not to spoil the happiness you have.

i think the only place that you have to live in is where you want to live in. My aunt doesn't live near her mom. She moved to Phillidelphia! It could be where you first got asked out, but by wherever that was, it could be somewhere memoriable. Or you could settle down in a neighborhood that is safe where you would like to have kids.
God bless, and I wish you the best luck.

No. No way! No freaking way.
That would be the best way to ruin a marriage. Your wife needs to establish herself independent of her mothers thoughts and ideas. You need time to establish as a married couple. Having your wifes mother around would be horrid.

It all depends on how near mom will be, and some rules certainly have to be followed. No just 'dropping' in. And when she does come over, Knock.

I normally see one out of a couple cling to a parent. It's not always the bride. In my case it's my wife clinging to her parents. In my sisters case it's her husband clinging.

doesnt have to be ,no but as girls turn into women,mums turn into their friends,,they give love,support,friendship,advice,comfort,opinion,and loan you money,,who would want to give all that up when it has been waited for ,for so long.it does help if the husband is close also but not necessary for a healthy relationship with mum and daughter,,we just love our mums and dont want to not have to see them all the time!

Well I think it would be a good idea, you have an instant babysitter! But that depends whether or not she's a nice mother-in-law.
