I know one young man who is currently dealing with the verbal “stings” his mother-in-law tends to throw his way through subtle criticism. But rather than allow that interaction to destroy their marriage, he and his wife have learned to come together, take each other’s side, and set boundaries for the type of interactions they choose to engage in with her. Even in these types of situations, we need to learn to “choose marriage” for our relationships to come out better and stronger.
