In-Laws: Married With Parents

“How many Christian books about marriage would you say you have purchased and read? How many of them included solid biblical teaching, if any teaching, about the issue of in-law relationships? Over the years I have purchased and read hundreds of books on marriage and family issues. Surprisingly, a perusal of these books indicates that very little has been written on this subject. It is virtually an untouched area.”

Books on Christian marriage abound today. If you’re like many people, you’ve read books covering every facet of marriage imaginable. Except one: in-laws.

Drawing on his years of counseling experience, Wayne Mack provides straightforward guidance for both parents and married children. While maintaining that children should always honour their parents, Mack surveys biblical evidence and concludes that married children owe first loyalty to their spouse.

This concise booklet includes several appendixes that help couples assess the state of their in-law relationships.
