In the midst of newlywed bliss, we often overlook the importance of presenting ourselves to our families and friends as a united front.
That is, until our in-laws begin to meddle and make inappropriate demands . . .
Of course, we remain respectful of our parents and in-laws. Of course, we want to avail ourselves of their wisdom and guidance.
But, a young couple (or not-so-young couple) must demonstrate to their families (and to themselves) that their primary allegiance is to each other–NOT to their families of origin.
It’s a complex, difficult process which involves grieving the loss of former alliances. For example, a father and daughter may have always had a special bond–which is wonderful–but now, the daughter’s primary connection needs to be with her husband.
Learn how to grieve these losses while simultaneously establishing healthy, appropriate boundaries with our families of origin.
Elliott and I discuss all this and more in today’s episode!
