In the final week of the “Haunted House” series, Pastor Nate Gagne speaks about how you should honor & separate from your parents & in-laws once you are married but also defend your spouse from them in the event there is a difference of opinion. For example, a daddy’s-girl or mama’s-boy, once married, should instead differ to their spouse’s opinion when it comes to financial & child-rearing matters. Additionally, although your in-laws may not be your favorite people in the world, you should honor them by not talking about them behind their backs & respecting their opinions, even if you don’t agree with them. Your in-laws don’t have to haunt you, like Jackie Gleason’s mother-in-law in the show ‘The Honeymooners’. After all, it can be hard for parents to think of their children as someone else’s partner instead of simply their child. However, a healthy in-law relationship is marked by mutual respect & agreed upon boundaries.
