IF YOU’VE PICKED UP THIS BOOK, you’re probably scratching your head pondering this tough relationship question. No mother-in-law wants to be the monster-in-law that bad jokes make her out to be, yet blending two families in marital bliss is often somewhat less than blissful.

She surveyed hundreds of women using the popular website WeddingChannel.com to come to a better understanding of what a mother-in-law’s role should be. She discovered that five important steps kept coming up. She concluded that if you follow these steps, you too can build a loving relationship with a daughter-in-law and avoid many of the in-law pitfalls.
Sidebars, practical suggestions, and stories of love and encouragement are among the many elements in this important book.
Whether you’re a new mother-in-law or a more seasoned one, open this book and learn how to embrace and enjoy this time of your life.
