Don't believe all those old jokes: In-laws DO NOT have to be outlaws!
Few things in our lives are more valuable than our family relationships \u2014 and few things are more complex. And when those relationships begin, not at birth, but at marriage, there can be some challenging adjustments to be made.
The great news is: You CAN make the adjustments, and have rewarding, wonderful in-law relationships.
The author of more than thirty bestselling works on both Torah and psychology, Rabbi Dr. Abraham J. Twerski, M.D. is the scion of a great rabbinic family and world-famous addiction expert who has helped tens of thousands live better lives. In In-Laws: It's All Relative, Rabbi Twerski teams up with Leah Shifrin Averick, a respected social worker and an expert in in-law relationships, to produce a book that will enhance and improve our lives: as mothers- or daughters-in-law; fathers- or sons-in-law; sisters or brothers-in-law.
Brimming with Torah wisdom, psychological insight, and, of course, true-life stories, In-Laws: It's All Relative deals with the most common challenges of in-law relationships:<\/p>\n

Making the first meeting cordial and positive
What do I call my in-laws?
Divided loyalties
Financial aid and gifts: giving them, getting them
Mechatunim and wedding planning
In-laws as grandparents<\/p>\n

By following the sensible, practical, and, always, Torah-based strategies that two experts have formulated over decades of work with families, we learn how to enjoy harmonious and fulfilling relationships with our in-laws.
And we never have to make a mother-in-law joke again!<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
