7 Things to Remember When Your In-Laws Can't Let Go

Date: Jun 10, 2025

Theme: Communication & Conflict

Welcome to The Thriving Family, a Focus on the Family Canada podcast.

Whether you’re engaged, newlywed, or have been married for years, you know that spouses come with attachments: in-laws. These relationships have the potential to offer support to the married couple, but the reality is many couples struggle with in-law dynamics. Similar to having a newborn child, there is no instruction manual for how to navigate the complexity of this particular relationship. What can you do, then, when your in-laws won’t let go? And how do you navigate this issue without creating a divide that feels too big to cross?

This is a big topic, so we’ve included a relevant resources in our show notes for this episode so you can continue learning and growing even after today’s episode ends.
