Today’s Parents – How Your Relationship With Your In-Laws Affect Your Marriage
Listen now
Description
A study by the University of Michigan of 373 couples over a 26-year period reveals that: • Men who are close to their in-laws are 20% less likely to have a divorce; and • Women who are close to their in-laws are 20% more likely to have a divorce. Why is there an opposite effect on the longevity of marriage between men and women when it comes to their relationship with their in-laws? How is having a close relationship with your in-laws helping or hurting your marriage? In this week's show, host Chiao Kee Lim speaks to the professor behind this study, Dr. Terri Orbuch about all things in-laws related. Whether you are a daughter-in-law, a son-in-law, a mother-in-law or a father-in-law, this show is for you. Dr. Terri is a psychologist, a marriage & family therapist and the author of the book Finding Love Again: 6 Steps To A New & Happy Relationship and she will be sharing: • Why women who are close to their in-laws are more likely to have a divorce; • Why men who are close to their in-laws are less likely to have a divorce; • Signs you may be too close to your in-laws and how that affects your marriage; • What to do to set boundaries in your relationship with your in-laws; • What not to do in your relationship with your in-laws.   Links To find out more about Dr. Terri Orbuch and to connect with her, visit her website at http://www.drterrithelovedoctor.com (http://www.drterrithelovedoctor.com).
