Season 2 is here! We kick off this season by exploring the often-overlooked reality that marrying your partner also means marrying their family. From cultivating bonds with grandparents, parents, siblings, and other close relatives, we discuss strategies for creating meaningful, individual connections. Ideally, your relationships with your current/future in-laws go beyond the obligatory phone calls/visits during the holidays and special occasions. We also tackle the tricky scenarios—when family dynamics become tense or when family relationships are nonexistent for you, your spouse, or both. How do these dynamics impact your relationship, and what can you do about it? Through candid conversation and practical advice, we emphasize how understanding your partner’s family can reveal deeper insights into your spouse’s personality, values, and worldview. Join us as we kick off this journey into navigating the complex yet rewarding world of in-laws.
