ADVICE

Ask How To Honor Them

  • Ask your partner's parent directly how you can honor them during the transition to marriage.
  • Use empathetic language like "How can I honor you in this?" to open honest dialogue.
INSIGHT

Blending Families Is Usually Messy

  • Families rarely match perfectly; dating brings together different habits, traditions, and beliefs.
  • Recognize cultural and routine differences as expected rather than proof of incompatibility.
ADVICE

Define The Relationship Early

  • Have a DTR conversation with your partner and their parents to set boundaries and expectations.
  • Define what the new couple's relationship with both families will look like moving forward.
