 It would help to know what you mean by not getting along... what are they doing? Is it your mother that is the instigator of the problems, or your wife? Has it always been this way, or did something cause a rift?

 well you can take them both out and get them talking then hopefully after the day is over it will be sorted. but if that doesnt work then you can find time for your mum and wife on there own.

 You can't make them get along. Some mothers think that no woman is good enough for their son. It's time she realised it's your choice, not hers and made an effort. Talk to them both separately and no doubt they'll blame the other. So why not be brave and get them both together and mediate. Tell them both how unhappy it makes you. Do you have children? Surely if you have children with your wife, both women will have to act differently? They will then have a baby to consider and have to put aside their differences. This is effecting you but it's their problem, perhaps after mediating, let them spend some time together to sort it out, for your sake and any possible children. Good luck. If it helps, I know the feeling of being disliked by a partner's mother and it is the most unpleasant experience. I confess I just pretend now and bite my tongue, but it's hard. I don't think it's me she doesn't like, just any women around her sons.
