in-laws

What do you do when the people you love frustrate you the most? 

In every family, there's the potential for conflict - but that potential grows when dealing with grandparents, in-laws, stepparents and other complex family relationships. 

How do you keep the peace and prioritize healthy, long-term relationships when things go south? 

In this episode of "The Family Business with The Alessis," hosts Steve and Mary Alessi engage in a heartfelt conversation with their mom, Dr. Faith Fredrick about navigating the complexities of family relationships that can be both meaningful and messy. 

 From managing small disagreements to handling blended family challenges, the episode delves into the power of open communication, respect, and the long-term implications of our actions within your family.

Beautiful Mess: Seeking Jesus, Finding Beautiful CONNECTION
As we think of all of our relational connections, there’s both beauty and mess. A common messy connection for women can be with our in-laws. Because it’s a common question and struggle we hear from moms, we want to take an extra episode to share some specific encouragement about how to build connection in these special relationships. And a big part will be seeking Jesus for wisdom.

Two friends join Melanie and Christy: Sara from Colorado and Dorena from Nashville, Tennessee. Sara shares her perspective as a daughter-in-law, and Dorena shares her perspective as a mother-in-love.

Dorena Williamson is an author of kids books that are written with both the child(ren) and adults in mind! Check them out at dorenawilliamson.com/books/.

Discussion questions for today's episode:

• What did you hear that was encouraging today?
• Today’s beautiful Truth is Romans 12:18. How are these words encouraging [or challenging] to you?
• Spend some time in prayer. Name the things that feel especially challenging in your relationship with your in-law(s). Ask the Lord to help you see your relationship through the lens of his lovingkindness and grace. Ask him to lead you in if/when to establish healthy boundaries and if/when to make an extra effort to reach out. Ask him to help you grieve unmet expectations and gain a new view and hope for what your relationship could be.
