All of this in-law issues can triggers conflicts in family.
These issues can be resolved by couples discussing what kind of relationship they would want with their in-laws ,it is also important to avoid being accusatory and speaking critically of one’s in-laws, especially during such talks.Expressing negativity towards in-laws tends to worsen the situation because it alienates spouses from each other and promotes defensiveness.
Couples also needs to balance their loyalties, drawing boundaries between themselves and their In-law and resisting the self-protective biases that blinds them to their own unfairness . These are essential to prevent in-law conflict from overwhelming a marriage.
