Save Your MarriageDay 40
Let in-laws be family, not referees
Today's talk · preview
Day 40. Today, family and in-laws.
Families can be a huge blessing. They can also be one of the biggest pressures on a marriage. Parents who give too many opinions. Siblings who take sides. Old family patterns that sneak into your home without anyone noticing.
Here's the hard truth. When you got married, your first loyalty moved. You can love and honor your family, and still make it clear that your spouse comes first. Remember Day 26? One boundary might have been, we don't discuss our fights with our parents. That fence matters.
