Handling Criticism from Family: Standing with Your Spouse
How to defend your marriage and keep outsiders at bay
When my husband and I got married, I never thought my own family would be the ones giving us the most grief. Whether it's my mom giving me unwanted advice about how I raise my kids, or my sister making little comments about my husband's job, it can really get under your skin. It's so important to remember that when you say 'I do,' you and your spouse become your own family. You have to be a united team. Putting your partner first and setting clear boundaries with your relatives is the key. You have to stand together and defend your marriage against any outside criticism, even when it comes from the people you love. It’s about protecting the special bond you two have built and making sure your home is a peaceful, happy place for your own little family.
