All right, it's the episode you've all been waiting for for us to finally talk about how to set boundaries with in laws and

extended family. It's a hard thing to do

because we as I think believers and Christians, right? We fall into this camp of like I want to honor my family. I want to honor my parents,

but sometimes they may get hard to do that. So how do I

set that boundary? Because they're always talking about about my spouse or they just want to talk about this other person in our family or

you know, all the things that the Lord has called us as believers not to engage in. How do we?

Or I see the effects of my in laws on our marriage or on my spouse and

you're likely seeing the effects because they're less than positive. Right.

And you don't really know how to navigate that because you bring it up and it ends up being a blow-up fight or it ends up

pitting you pit yourself yourselves against each other and ends up being your family versus their family or you versus their family.

It can be a really sticky situation. Speaking from experience. No, we're not gonna throw our

in laws. We love our in laws, but you know what? Everyone's human and so we ought to figure out how to walk through this together.

And I think we'll be refreshed to find it is possible to have

certain boundaries that are very clear and to enforce those boundaries without also being a huge jerk.

So we're gonna talk through that today and we'll see you on the other side.

Welcome to the Fierce Marriage Podcast where we believe that marriage takes a fierce tenacity that never gives up and refuses to give in.

Here we'll share openly and honestly about all things marriage. Sex,

Communication,

Finance, Priorities, Purpose, and everything in between.

Laugh, Ponder, and join in on Candid Gospel-centered conversations.

This is Fierce Marriage.

All right, this is rounding out our series on boundaries. I think we made do a Q&A because we did get lots of questions.
