For my painful marriage life with in laws

For my painful marriage life with in laws: I have been married for 2 years. I love my husband and he loves me. We love God more. In these two years I really facing a painful marriage life. My in-laws (mother in law and sister in law) make my life miserable. My mother in law living with us. She is a very selfish lady and unbeliever(That means she believes in Christ but doesn't believe church, prayer etc., like Jehovah witness). She is scolding me very badly but my husband didn't do anything. he behaving like slave. I talked to my husband that he send his mother back to her country but he never accept that. She is always creating problems between us. Really I feel I am in hell. And my sister in law married and living happily with her husband without in-laws. But They always interfere in my family problems and make problem very big and finally create problem between my husband and me. they dominate my family. I didn't do anything. My brother in law treat me like a student. I didn't have any support from my husband. They are trying to distract my husband from Christ and create problem with us. If we are fighting, they are happy. Bible says that after marriage man should leave his mother and father emotionally and physically. but here everything is different. I suffered a lot emotionally and physically. My husband eyes are closed. I don't know why. Please pray for me.

I want a peaceful marriage life with my husband without anybody's domination. I want that God open my husband eyes to see the wife's position in the family. I just want to leave his family and unite with me.

I Understand however;

Wow!I think the majority of us know how you feel. My heart goes out to you. Be strong and kill those guys with kindness. They want to see you guys fight and to come in between you both. Don't let them have that satisfaction. I gave that satisfaction to my parents and my in-laws and now I regret it and have not been able to do anything about it. My mother in law is Lucifer herself and my husband saw it but did nothing. It took a toll on me and I took it out on him. Big mistake thinking back I wish I could have changed it..all!!! not worth the pain and heartache. I have been separated for over 1 month now due to situations with negativity around our marriage. Think before reacting please no matter what happens!

I sympathize!

Thank you for posting this. I am in the same exact position, both from where my husband stands as well as the actions of his family members. I am at a total breaking point and the only thing I know to do is pray to God. This situation has literally brought me to my knees because I truly do love my husband and want to save our marriage. All other aspects of our relationship are great, except for this - and it's affecting our entire marriage. I ask that God soften my heart and not take things my in-laws do so seriously but also pray that God open my husbands eyes to my feelings, changes him to approach situations as a man and lastly learns to stand up for me and our baby and not allow their selfish ways to dominate his thinking...

I've been through it!

I exactly know how you feel; I have difficult in-laws as well, but I prayed and prayed and God has improved the situation greatly. Prayer is the only way because a lot of times the husband doesn't have the strength to stand up to his parents, or doesn't know how. I stand with you for this and if you believe, I know your situation will improve. I recommend praying the scripture about a husband leaving his parents and cleaving to his wife, as well as the scripture about as a child thinking like a child but as a man thinking like a man. Those scriptures are very helpful in defeating difficult in-laws. God softened my in-laws and eventually put them in my corner! Don't give up. It will get better.
