Summary |
"If common knowledge is any guide, there's no escape from hating your in-laws. Deb DeArmond and her three daughters-in-law refuse to accept this popular thought. They bring the knowledge they've gained from their own relationships, from Scripture, and from their work with hundreds of other women to show you not just what to do, but how to do it. This practical book covers issues of personal perceptions, strained communication, the roles of sons and fathers in the relationship's success, and more. Whether you're just entering the relationship, you're already in a messy in-law situation, or you just want to support a good relationship you never want to go bad, you'll find help and hope here."--Back cover. |
