A viral “Grandma Cam” clip sparks a real conversation: Is it okay for parents to take a vacation with only their biological kids… and leave out the in-laws? Adam and Ashlee react in real time, talk through why this idea blew up, and break down the difference between intentional quality time vs. subtle exclusion. They get into the heart of what makes family dynamics healthy (or toxic), especially when adult children get married and start building families of their own.From navigating different family cultures to setting boundaries that actually protect relationships, this episode gets practical fast. Adam shares what he’s seen through years of counseling and pastoring—how unspoken expectations, poor communication, and “holiday faking” can quietly fracture families over time. If you’re married (or planning to be), this is one of those conversations that helps you think clearly, love well, and build a family culture that lasts.--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?
