Faith Lived Out ~God’s Wisdom for Marriage & Becoming a Better Wife

81 ~ Parents & In-Laws and What To Do When They Make Life Difficult ~ Part 2


Listen Later

In this episode we are continuing our chat about parents and in-laws. What their place is suppose to be in our life now that we are married, how we are to treat them, and what to do when they behave rudely or make our lives difficult.

The world has its own views on this, but what does the Bible say about how we are to treat our parents? As we started to see last week, there is more in scripture about parents then we may have realized and that how we treat them, can have a direct affect on our own lives as well.

Today, I’ll be sharing with you some of my own experience as a mother-in-law, the responsibility that scripture says we have to our parents and how to avoid conflicts or resolve them when they happen.

Let’s get started.

 

Episode Highlights

  • Responsibility to care for aging parents
  • Conflict resolution with parents and in-laws
  • Self-examination, showing grace and mercy, and seeking forgiveness
  •  Communication to avoid potential conflicts 
  • Navigating the relationship with believing & unbelieving parents or in-laws
  • Setting boundaries when necessary
  • The goal is reconciliation
  •
