59: Learning to Love Your In-Laws (Part 1)

April 1, 2019

In Episode 59 of The IMbetween Podcast, Daniel and Christina Im share ways that will help you learn how to love your in-laws. Instead of building walls, what would it look like if you set healthy boundaries?

In This Episode, You Will Hear About:

  • Why it’s important to set boundaries with your in-laws
  • Ways to resolve conflict with your in-laws
  • Steps to set boundaries with your in-laws

Resources Mentioned During the Episode:

  • Check out Episode 3: How to Not Hate Your In-laws before listening to this episode
  • Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No To Take Control of Your Life by Henry Cloud and John Townsend
  • Episode 19: How to Handle and Resolve Conflict

Quotables:

  • “Children are a lot better at observing than interpreting.”
  • “Boundaries are what define us. They define what is me and what is not me. A boundary shows me where I end and someone else begins.”
  • “Walls are created more out of fear and hurt, than out of a desire for a healthy relationship.”
  • “Don’t underestimate the power of prayer.”
  • “Don’t build walls. Build boundaries.”
  • “When in front of the in-laws, always agree with and side with your spouse…then work it out later.”
  • “Don’t vent about your spouse to your parents.”
  • “Practice saying no.”
  • “By setting boundaries, we are also demonstrating to our children what it means to love and respect ourselves as well as others .”

The Role of Numbing Behaviors šŸ¤”šŸ«Ø

Ever wonder why we turn to quick fixes when we’re stressed or exhausted? In Episode 197 of the IMbetween Podcast, @chris3janssen explains that numbing behaviors like reaching for sugary treats or alcohol provide immediate relief but often at a significant cost. 

We discuss a powerful exercise from her book, ā€œGrace Yourself,ā€ that helps individuals evaluate these numbing patterns and consider healthier alternatives. It’s about gaining awareness and making intentional choices to support our well-being.
