The Delicate Mother-In-Law Relationship – Part 2
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. Annie shares that there is nothing quite so unattractive as a jealous mother or an insecure wife. To help guard against these emotions, Colossians 3:12-13 says, “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 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.

The Delicate Mother-In-Law Relationship – Part 1
Perhaps one of the more difficult relationships to manage in life is between a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson takes on this delicate subject with musician and author, Annie Chapman, as they discuss her book entitled The Mother-In-Law Dance: Can Two Women Love the Same Man and Still Get Along? Matthew 11:29-30 says, “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Annie’s invaluable advice models this character of Jesus. Being gentle and humble in spirit may be the best way for mothers and their daughters-in-law to maintain a healthy family dynamic.
