How My Friend Turned Around a Tough Relationship with Their In-Laws

Priya and Raj were dealing with a difficult marriage problem in Bangalore: an emotional connection with Raj's parents. Tension came from frequent misunderstandings and cultural differences; Priya felt criticized and left out, and Raj found it difficult to understand his loyalty to his wife and his parents.

Priya's decision to take proactive steps to address the situation signified an important turning point. She saw that her marriage had been affected by the developing divide as well as her relationship with Raj's family. Recognizing the importance of a methodical strategy, Priya consulted a licensed marriage counselor by LYfsmile.
The therapist suggested that Priya and Raj take the following strategic steps to make things better:

Open Communication: Priya and Raj developed an understanding of the value of regulated, honest conversation. They planned a family gathering with Raj's parents so they could freely address their issues and properly express their feelings.


Set Boundaries: Together, they set up suitable limits that respect the duty and beliefs of Raj's parents and helped Priya and Raj feel supported in their connection.


Seek Common Ground:Priya and Raj tried to connect with Raj's parents through things that they had in common. This involved taking part in customs within the family and scheduling frequent get-togethers to promote inclusivity and respect for one another.

Professional Mediation: Priya and Raj arranged family therapy sessions with the counselor's help, offering a safe haven where everyone could air feedback and foster understanding.

Patience and Consistency:Raj & Priya realized it would require effort to repair their relationship with Raj's parents. They enjoyed little achievements along the road and persisted in their efforts with patience.


Priya and Raj were able to repair their ties with Raj's family by doing these actions. Addressing previous grievances, establishing new interactional patterns, and promoting empathy and respect were all part of the process. Their proactive behavior enhanced their relationship and enhanced their connections with Raj's parents.
