Tag: marry the family

They say when you marry your spouse you marry their family. While this is a common statement, it is still often underestimated how true this really is.

As a marriage therapist, it always amazes me on how little attention is invested in really getting to know one’s future in-laws, understanding their feelings and getting to know the family he/she is about to marry into. During the dating period, the main idea is to make a good impression and get an endorsement, so to speak.
