Actually, Genesis 2:24 says
For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. 
So, what that speaks to me is (:clap2
the man should leave his family! :funny: Seriously, though, it really should be an equal split whenever that is possible. With us, we live closer to my mother, but my father and my in-laws are about equal distance away, though in opposite directions. We are getting ready to move this summer probably, and we will be about equi-distant from my mother and my in-laws, and my father will be a little farther away. We don't determine where to live based on where either of our family is, though. We try to make our decisions based on what we feel like God is telling us to do and what will be best for our family. My in-laws have caused problems between us in the past, so we probably will not get too close to them. My husband and I are determined not to let anyone interfere in our marriage. Because of that, we are more likely to visit my family, who doesn't try to split us up. We go see his parents when we feel truly prayed up and ready to deal with them for a whole two days..ahhhhhhhh!
