Summary

Married or not, we have all heard horror stories from the perspective of a mother or daughter-in-law. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his critical discussion with author Annie Chapman about her book, The Mother-In-Law Dance. Annie shares that there is nothing quite so unattractive as a jealous mother or an insecure wife. To help guard against these emotions, Colossians 3:12-13 says, “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Don’t miss this crucial episode about the healthy boundaries that are necessary between a mother and her son’s wife.
