Do your in-laws threaten your marriage or invade your
relationship?
<p>
On this reverse-interview episode with Michael and Elizabeth from
the Marriage Talks Podcast, Lindsey shares her own story of
family-member-drama as well as her perspective on what it means to
deal with difficult in-laws as a Christian man or woman.
<p>
Genesis 2:24 says, "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his
mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one
flesh."
<p>
This isn't an easy thing to do - especially when family members are
unwilling to be a part of the leave and cleave process.
<p>
A husband and a wife have behavioral, experiential and moral
differences based on how they were raised. They are two sinners
coming together and trying to make a godly relationship work. In
order to have a healthy marriage, it is important to fight for
healthy in-law relationships by showing the love of Christ.
<p>
When healing in-law relationships, Lindsey talks about focusing on
side-by-side relationship builders, living the relationship out on
your own rather than through your spouse, seeking humility and
laying down your pride, watching your words and voicing
expectations.
