But what does this mean for the couple's parents? How does their relationship with their child change? And what about the relationship with their new son- or daughter-in-law?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe challenges faced by the parents of newlyweds are often overlooked. But in this minibook, Chris Polski draws on Scripture and personal experience to provide thoughtful and practical guidance for parents seeking to build healthy relationships with their children and children-in-law. ​He emphasizes the importance of entrusting adult children to God and giving them space to build their own family traditions. At the same time, he counsels parents to warmly embrace their child-in-law and think constructively about how to parent their married child.
