I learnt so much watching this and this is what my husband and I teach couples today, especially those who come to our home at odd hours shouting and fighting overextended family issues. Love, respect, and honour extended family, but protect what you have. Parents are very welcome and can be of great help (we have such a beautiful relationship with my lovely parents and oh how I wished they lived nearer. My mom was with us the day our last baby was born and she was able to stay home with the 2 kids while hubby and I went to the maternity. For us, this was a miracle and a great luxury. She left and we invited her and daddy and they came back 1 month later and helped us with the baby. Their presence and godly wisdom help us and is very healthy for the children who grow up with the love and great wisdom of their grandparents… but that’s really it. We don’t bring them into our daily lives and they are so mature in faith that they don’t want us to tell them either. They told us they don’t want to know. They never ask us anything about our finances or what choices we make and only give their opinion if we ask for it. They have their lives and we have ours and we all love and respect each other). I believe when the balance is right it is beautiful and this is what we should all strive for.
