What other ways could family come between your relationship? Interference from in-laws can come in subtle ways which can threaten the marital relationship. Conflicts over money can arise when in-laws lend money to a new couple with subtle expectations attached, like visiting more often couched with reminders about the help they’ve given. Money could be a subtle way of controlling a couple’s emerging autonomy. Childrearing advice could be well intentioned, but the couple as new parents is most vulnerable to criticism and advice from in-laws. Advice that makes the couple feel incompetent is unproductive and it does not allow the couple to determine how they want to raise their own children or build confidence in their ability to raise a family. These subtle ways of interfering can cause divisions in a marriage if boundaries are not created by the couple and problems are not addressed immediately. -Suhaibwebb
