Marriage often gets pushed to the back burner when children arrive – but what if prioritizing your relationship is actually the best gift you can give your kids?

• Greet each other enthusiastically when reuniting—showing affection in front of children builds their sense of security
• Establish consistent routines for children to create sacred evening time for your marriage
• Remember marriage has seasons—winter periods don't mean your relationship is doomed

The mother-daughter-in-law relationship stands as one of family life's most complex dynamics, often fraught with unspoken expectations, misunderstandings, and deep emotional triggers. In this revealing conversation, master coach Janet Quinlan pulls back the curtain on why these relationships become strained and offers transformative strategies to move from tension to genuine connection.

We discuss:
• Healthy mother-daughter-in-law relationships involve recognizing you're building a new relationship that takes time to develop
• "Empathetic curiosity"
• Setting boundaries from a place of love
• Emotional independence
• Reframing negative thoughts
• Prayer for your in-law is a powerful practice that softens resentment and opens your heart
