Maria lives in a D. Patrilocal residence which means that the couple get married and live near (or with) the husbands parents. Since the new couple lives near (or with) the husbands parents, they are most likely expected to continue on with the same patterns as were considered "normal" before the wife came along, which is why Maria gives advice about nearly everything.
