Yeah, I'm getting silly here because - well, it just happens in all relationships! Those who think they know better how you should live your life...<br /><br />but, as you said, you don't want to burn those bridges because you may need them some day! And, sharing too much is not a very good idea either!<br /><br />Thanks, as always, Andrew! Keep on sharing your heart.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16954512718777249848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-68217232726584964162015-09-17T08:35:12.027-07:002015-09-17T08:35:12.027-07:00Living or dying, I want to be a good in-law to the...Living or dying, I want to be a good in-law to the men my daughters share life with. I don't want to be a budinski, to interfere, to offer unsolicited advice.<br /><br />I just want to love well. And let them know I think they're quality guys.<br /><br />I hope I learn better when to keep my mouth shut.

So many times we focus our advice on the couple who is getting married, and yes, they need it! But the couple who loves the couple also need it. My mom could be intrusive in my marriage at times, which is ironic because she hated that from my dad's mother who was VERY intrusive. I am trying to learn how to be a good mother-in-law and find it to be a bit confusing--especially since I live so far from my son and new daughter-in-law. I want to get to know her better, but feel that could be considered somewhat intrusive. I'm impatient in that pursuit, since she's my first daughter of three sons! I just don't want my enthusiasm to be overwhelming for her. Thanks for your insightful post. Great food for thought!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13156048755652103073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-24493700351403814522015-09-16T08:52:19.803-07:002015-09-16T08:52:19.803-07:00I think every newly married couple should read thi...I think every newly married couple should read this, Andrew. Presenting a united front is so important. I come from a large family and my sisters and I were close. I married late in life. For whatever reason, they thought they could put me and my husband under the microscope because we were very different from them. At first I didn't know how to handle this, but I did realize if they could not respect my husband and our relationship, we couldn't be around them. It didn't take long for them to realize their comments, though in fun, were hurtful. We have a wonderful relationship with all our in-laws now. Our God-centered marriage has helped lead them to a better relationship with God.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11095272703996765890noreply@blogger.com
