Book Recommendation: You, Your Husband, and His Mother

You, Your Husband, and His Mother: Create a Healthy Relationship with Your Mother-in-Law--and Your Spouse in Five Simple Steps

This book offers a timely, grounded guide for wives (and partners) who find that the holiday season with family and in-laws is filled with expectations and stress. This book will help you with longstanding friction, boundaries, resentment, or conflict with a mother-in-law. It’s especially helpful if you:

• Anticipate family gatherings where your spouse’s mother or family will be present, and you feel uneasy about your role or the expectations placed on you.
• Feel you’ve been caught in repeating patterns or power struggles (even subtle ones) with your mother-in-law.
• Want to protect and strengthen your marriage by addressing in-law dynamics rather than letting them silently erode your connection.
• Need practical steps (not just high-level theory) to set boundaries, clarify roles, and choose healthier relational patterns.
