Why Your In-Laws Shouldn't Be Your Biggest Enemies By: Vivian Bricker "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another" (John 13:34). It is very common for married couples to dislike their in-laws. This is a trend I have seen too often and it makes me feel pretty bad, to be honest. In-laws are extended family. They shouldn't be our biggest enemies. Growing up, I saw how much my mom disliked my dad's side of the family and my dad disliked my mom's side of the family. This led me to think disliking your in-laws was a rite of passage. Now that I'm older, I have learned how unhealthy this is. If you are married, you need to respect and genuinely love your in-laws. Meeting up with them for special events, holidays, and surprise get-togethers shouldn't be a dreadful occasion. Instead, it should be a happy occasion when you get to see your in-laws. If it isn't, there are many things we need to ask ourselves. |
