Married or not, we have all heard horror stories from the perspective of a mother or daughter-in-law. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his critical discussion with author Annie Chapman about her book, The Mother-In-Law Dance.

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Don’t miss this crucial episode about the healthy boundaries that are necessary between a mother and her son’s wife.
Perhaps one of the more difficult relationships to manage in life is between a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law.

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Annie’s invaluable advice models this character of Jesus.
