First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage, Then Comes … Your Mother-in-Law!
A new bride feels like she has it all: the man of her dreams, the perfect wedding and an amazing honeymoon, but then her blissful mood comes to a screeching halt. Her Mother-in-Law called and wants them to come to family dinner, Sunday … every Sunday. What’s a bride to do?
Ask the expert who’s “been there and done that!” Deanna Brann, Ph.D., is quickly becoming the go-to guru for mother-in-law (MIL) and daughter-in-law (DIL) relationships. In her new book, _RELUCTANTLY RELATED: SECRETS TO GETTING ALONG WITH YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW OR DAUGHTER-IN-LAW_. With over 25 years experience as a psychotherapist specializing in family relationships, Dr. Brann was shocked when she realized she and her DIL were having “issues.”
She set out to tackle the age-old problem and quickly discovered there is very little solid information on how to have a happy, healthy relationship with your MIL or DIL. After interviewing hundreds of women and their husbands/sons, she wrote _RELUCTANTLY RELATED _as the how-to guide for a healthier relationship. With humorous antidotes, personality identification Q&A’s and hands-on tools, Dr. Brann has the help you’ve been seeking. “Your MIL/DIL relationship doesn’t have to be perfect,” says Dr. Brann, “but it can be a healthy relationship with mutual respect that helps strengthen the whole family.”
