A Valuable Resource
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
There aren't very many books out there dealing with the subject of in-laws, so I was very pleased to find this one. Ms. Wasserman Cocola provides an insightful and sensitive discussion about in-laws and practical strategies on how to manage their involvement in your life. One of the strategies I found most useful was the "We" strategy. If you and your spouse are a united front, you have more strength and security, and ultimately less conflict, than if you are struggling with each other and being pulled in different directions by your parents. A very helpful book. Now if I can only get my husband to read it!

This is an excellent book. Every couple should be issued a copy upon marriage, engagement or serious involvement. Not only does Six in the Bed help you readily identify the notorious power struggles between in-laws and spouses, but it gives you strategies to address the issues as a couple.The conflicts between in-laws and new spouses are so difficult to address, with the new spouse most often being the one who compromises (and suffers) in deference to his or her spouse's reluctance to set new boundaries with family members. This book gives you tools to truly address the issues at hand instead of allowing resentment to grow and damage the couple's relationship. The insight in this book can help protect your marriage, whether as a preventative heads up or as an immediate survival guide.
