They say when you marry someone, you marry their family. It's annoying, but kinda true.
As much as you want it to be just the two of you, it’s not. Family is complicated. There are in-laws, siblings, extended families, blended families — all kinds of differences to contend with. Navigating it all — while keeping your immediate family the priority — can take its toll on your marriage.
Why are families so complex?
- different cultures, religions, and traditions
- different expectations
- setting boundaries is hard
- holidays come with so much stress
- toxic and unhealthy traits
- wanting to keep peace or please our families
- not having healthy boundaries modeled
Create your own family culture.
