7 Things to Remember When Your In-Laws Can't Let Go

Description

Welcome to The Thriving Family, a Focus on the Family Canada podcast.

Whether you’re engaged, newlywed, or have been married for years, you know that spouses come with attachments: in-laws. These relationships have the potential to offer support to the married couple, but the reality is many couples struggle with in-law dynamics. Similar to having a newborn child, there is no instruction manual for how to navigate the complexity of this particular relationship. What can you do, then, when your in-laws won’t let go? And how do you navigate this issue without creating a divide that feels too big to cross?

This is a big topic, so we’ve included a relevant resources in our show notes for this episode so you can continue learning and growing even after today’s episode ends. 

Theme: Communication & Conflict

Welcome to The Thriving Family, a Focus on the Family Canada podcast. This brand new show brings you episodes on marriage, parenting, faith and culture from a Christian perspective. We also share conversations with Canadian ministry and community leaders. This is the space where family, faith and culture intersect. All of this is made possible by generous donors across our vast country who are passionate about supporting Canadian families. In this first season, our theme is Communication and Conflict. This is one of the most common topics that people come to us about, whether in relation to marriage, parenting or our neighbours that God has called us to love. Each season features insights and stories from a variety of voices and thought leaders.
