The Basics of Getting Along with In-Laws

One of the biggest adjustments for newlyweds is getting to know your new side of the family, especially the in-laws. Getting to know and building a relationship with “the in-laws” is often seen as a scary step, but it does not have to be! 

We have all heard that the key to any relationship is communication, but what do we need to talk about exactly when it comes to in-laws?

Grace Jensen, with her husband Zach, share their thoughts and journey on how to navigate this time of learning to build strong and healthy relationships with in-laws, with a focus on recognizing differences and seeing them as strengths (11:22), how to show love in a way that they will understand (19:40), and setting boundaries (22:15). 

Their insights are wonderfully helpful for all newlyweds looking for ways to best handle the task of getting along with in-laws.
