Does your mother or mother-in-law give you unsolicited advice?!
It’s time to learn how to handle interfering parents/in-laws and learn the art of creating boundaries that will protect your marriage.
Watch as Leah teaches us:
- When to stand up for ourselves and when to let comments go
- How to draw the line so that mothers/in-laws don’t cross it
- How to assert ourselves to keep our sanity and more importantly, our husband’s sanity intact
Meet Get Real Guest Sara, married 3 years. Listen in as Sara grapples with how to handle her mother’s interference in her marriage. Sara feels like she is constantly trying to make harmony between her parents and her husband…and the only thing she is achieving is aggravation! Sara is losing on both fronts, and not making either side happy. What’s a wife in the middle supposed to do? Who does she owe her loyalties to — her loving parents who raised her, or her husband with whom she is trying to start a new life? Discover what our 3,000 year old tradition tells us with regards to respecting our parents versus respecting our husband — whom do you think “wins”? Find out when a woman needs to get a “family-ectomy” and when, with the right tools in place, all relationships can blossom.
Homework for the week: Set one boundary you need to enforce & try to implement it this week. If there’s a rift, remember that your husband comes first!
