ME, MY HUSBAND, AND MY IN-LAWS
Balancing the Tightrope with Love and Grace

What starts as a civil introduction can quickly become a minefield of conflicting expectations, unspoken resentment, and delicate negotiations. These relationships, tricky at the best of times, can unravel even the most well-intentioned marriages, creating rifts that turn love into a balancing act. History shows us that these bonds, left untended, have been the undoing of many unions.
