To maintain a healthy and cordial relationship you have to be transparent and, in that sense, it won't do much good if you spend your time flattering your sister-in-law gratuitously. Sooner or later it will become evident that they are not real words, so don't exaggerate feelings that are not genuine In other words, if the bond doesn't go beyond a relationship of respect, don't force yourself to make her your best friend either.

With willingness and empathy you will see how the relationship is enriched over time.
