Communicate openly with your spouse

If you’re struggling to bond with your in-laws or feeling upset about how they treat you, take a deep breath and have a candid conversation with your spouse. Choose your words carefully so as not to prompt defensiveness, and explain what you’re experiencing. Approaching problems as a team will help to reduce your anxiety levels, and your partner will have unique insights that can help you better understand your in-laws.
