Does your spouse doesn't like your family and wondering what to do? Paul Friedman uses candor and common sense to address this seeming dilemma and shows you exactly where you should "stand" so you are not in the middle.
Yes, it happens and there are some pretty basic principles that I use virtually for everything marriage and I've learned these principles over the years. I began with them actually way back when I was doing divorce mediation so this is not an easy topic but here's the reality.
The reality is because of the nature of free will you're not going to get this to change and you have to really remember that your spouse comes first. There are cases when spouses are really extreme and people say, "Well, what do I do?" Spouse refuses to have my mom over my dad over, whatever.
You married your spouse for better or worse and I'm not trying to be condescending or lecture you but what's most important is happiness within your own sacred space of marriage, and I don't even want to say things like look, it could be worse and although it could be but the truth is, this is just something you have to live with.
The good news is that usually, it doesn't cause a real problem unless like your parents live next door and there's a constant feud that would be a problem but otherwise, the problem comes up during the holidays or birthdays, special events and things like that so don't dwell on it.
You have to learn to accept it. You have to not condemn your spouse for how they feel about your family. Don't justify how they feel about your family. You go on loving your family or not loving your family however you are but you're not going to change them and it will only do harm if you try. It will only do harm if you're critical of them for that. This is a short video because the reality is all you can do is accept and that's it. I'm sorry but that's what it boils down to. Hopefully, this helped you.
If you want more information, you want to understand it better, put in a comment and ask your question or write to one of our counselors and find out. Here's the thing, if you really focus on making your marriage like super happy which is within your power to make your marriage offthecharts then this will become a smaller thing and it will probably become a smaller thing for them too.
