Summary

Perhaps one of the more difficult relationships to manage in life is between a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson takes on this delicate subject with musician and author, Annie Chapman, as they discuss her book entitled The Mother-In-Law Dance: Can Two Women Love the Same Man and Still Get Along? Matthew 11:29-30 says, “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Annie’s invaluable advice models this character of Jesus. Being gentle and humble in spirit may be the best way for mothers and their daughters-in-law to maintain a healthy family dynamic.
