  • Are you having issues with your in-laws and they don't treat you like family? Watch Paul gives you tips on this problem that happens on both sides, men and women. This is a problem and a lot of people don't ask the question. They just eat it.
    A lot of times it's a failure within your spouse's parents' marriage to begin with. They don't treat each other like family. You got to get out of this space of woe-is-me and look objectively and see if that's what's really going on. In most cases, that's the problem. They don't treat each other with the love, the respect that you want to have in your family. In your family hopefully, your family is tight, lot of love, lot of mutual respect. You make it a point to feed into the very foundation of your marriage which is love and happiness and you do that on a continual basis and never take away from that with anger or criticism or any of the other killers of marriage.
    Hopefully, you're working in your marriage in a way that it's phenomenal and you can't even believe how wonderful your marriage is. And if it's not that way, you need to read one of my books or take one of the courses so you could get your marriage like that and that way this other problem with the in-laws is just a little fringe problem that you have.
    Once you've done that that's first then you take a look at their marriage and you look past the
    facade and you see, is their true respect? Is their true love? And if not, stay away don't care just interact with them superficially as best you can, always giving them love, giving them respect and not worrying about it. Now, the other big reason is because they're defensive. They don't know how to behave in front of you and so they're distant, cold, even mean. You can't do anything about that. You treat them with love, respect and you practice the bowling ball technique that if they throw something at you you be a feather and the bowling ball comes and you're not affected by it. Don't let them get to you.

    This wasn’t much of an issue in our family until we had a baby. How can you create a health boundary without alienating them from our kid.

      ​@@takotadarling4159 because the answer would be multiple, differing essays, that would somehow still fail to address her personal issue. My son was disowned by his grandmother(my ex's mother) all because of not accepting the love I shared with her daughter. 7 years later she shows him love and affection, which does annoy me seeing as she owes all of us an apology for mistreating my mild mannered, bright child. Love and forgiveness were the only ways thru to give grandma a chance to be one. Good luck and god bless.

      Welcome to the club. My inlaws withheld the death of a brother inlaw who'd been dead a week before I knew he passed , and of course, after the service was over because that was the purpose to keep me from attending his funeral.
      You know you don't let this dispicable behavior get to you.
      Because that's what they want.

      I'm get that same impression. I've made it easy for myself by giving my husband and his family their space after the greetings and such and when they "want to talk." It's just exactly what he said... I'm cordial, give respect and then get out of the way and/or go on about my way or business.

    Thank you so much. Your advice relieved my stress. I come from a very loving and accepting family so my partner feels so loved and cared for. My situation is quite the opposite. One in law is different and cold and same goes for he children. I wish things were different but what can you do. I wish them well, I’m always smiling even when I feel hurt by them. Be loving even though others aren’t. God bless.❤

      We have to be the bigger person. It is easier said than done. Once you accomplish, you will surprise yourself. It feels DAMN good to not feed into negative energy. Your maturity will not go unnoticed. Be happy and smile because we have our happy lives to live with our partner.

    Just today I learned, that when the women in my family (in-laws) had their baby shower for one of my wife’s brother and his wife…. The rest of the guys (my wife’s two brothers, her dad, and the other brother in law) all went golfing. I wasn’t invited (me being the only other brother in law). I WAS asked a day prior to watch one of their 2 year olds. I wasn’t entirely certain why I was asked to watch the 2 year old. But it was all made clear today the reason: because while all of the women were at the baby shower the men would be golfing. All of the men aside from me. I haven’t felt this low in a long time.

      The only one who has to like you is your wife. From what you write it sounds like she may have protected you from being hurt. Never allow yourself to be hurt by external stuff.

    I disagree. Anything worth doing takes hard work and effort. Marriage is hard work. All relationships take work. It won’t always be amazing but that’s the beauty of marriage. It’s two imperfect people loving each other enough to invest into something worthwhile. You will never be happy if you think marriage will always be amazing. That’s why the divorce rate is so high! People just give up the minute it things get hard.

    What should I do if my husband wants to visit his parents weekly and I don't feel comfortable in his parents' house? Although I express my feelings to him, he still is not respectful of them and gives me the silent treatment or makes me regret not going....
    He always wants to plan family holidays with them etc but I am not comfortable to be spending time with them.
    How do I do the work to process my feelings so that I am not caught in this hamster wheel. Many a times I just wanna leave my marriage because of the mental stress....

    • @TheMarriageFoundation
      @TheMarriageFoundation  8 месяцев назад

      The only true feeling is love, you are making too much of your emotions and trusting your mind over your heart. God put you into this and every situation to challenge you to become angelic, not to complain inwardly or outwardly. Become your inlaws' "daughter" and love them, accept them, and open yyour heart more to your husband.
