I do hope you come back to read this re...Anonymous<br /><br />I do hope you come back to read this reply. I'm so sorry that your in-laws have chosen not to bridge the gap...but I pray that you will find the courage to try to do so yourself some day. Pray first, as I said in my article, the Holy Spirit can wrought change when we ask Him to come into a situation.<br /><br />I'm sure you believe in your heart that choosing a different religion was the right thing for you and your family and God wants unity not separation and strife for all of us. Believe that He will bless you for your convictions and that He will help you to bridge the gap.<br /><br />I'm so happy that my article was of help to you. Praying for you and your family.<br /><br />God bless!Lisa Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17357560782423451224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9121879287824053596.post-57997984441659938462012-03-16T14:07:19.728-04:002012-03-16T14:07:19.728-04:00This has truly been healing.

I did not have the support of my husband at the time and they were welcomed across many boundaries in our home by him. Now he is stronger and I have come to a point of great joy God gave me these in-laws. I have grown and matured spiritually and outgrown old habits that might have never been possible had I not had them for in-laws. I don't know if I will ever be in their company again, but I have been encouraging my husband to see them with our children and I was grateful to receive affirmation through this article it is a good choice for us to make. I so appreciate this. I'm saving it for my girls one day. There are 17 mother/daughter-in-law relations in the Bible and only 2 are good.

You have a lot of learning and experience under your belt, and your listening ear and advice would be helpful to many a younger wife. You're a Titus 2 woman par excellence!<br /><br />Thanks for joining us for Marriage Monday, Lisa Maria.

It sounds like it comes from many years of experience too. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. <br /><br />I was convicted by how you do things with your husband's family that you sometimes don't like. I don't have this problem with my husband's family, but I do with some of his work/staff party's that we must go to. I've balked at going for years now, but I'm motivated to go if it will make him feel "supported." Thanks for that nudge!messy marriagehttp://www.messymarriage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9121879287824053596.post-60678564439739871702011-11-07T10:34:06.579-04:002011-11-07T10:34:06.579-04:00What a great list!

I especially appreciate "Actions speak louder than words." <br /><br />This was tough in the early years -- my husband suffered from depression, and it was easy for his family AND for me to assume it was my fault. If I'd been a better, more loving wife, he would have been happier.<br /><br />God has worked a lot of healing in our lives, and after 23 years, my husband and I are truly happy together. I hope his family senses his contentment with me.Cheri Gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02112867500501519928noreply@blogger.com
