“Six Tips For Spending the Holidays With Your In-laws”
by Jenna D. Barry
The way I see it, there are two groups of people: those who love the holidays because they love spending time with family, and those who dread the holidays because their family—or spouse’s family—is difficult to be around.

“Everybody Loves Raymond but Hates his Parents”
by Jenna D. Barry
Why does everyone love Raymond? I’d like to smack him upside the head.
To set the record straight, I love the TV show “Everybody Loves Raymond” (because I can relate to it) and I’ll bet that in real life Ray Romano is a wonderful, loyal husband and confident adult.

“Growing a Strong Marriage: Tips for Dealing with In-laws”
by Jenna D. Barry
Last spring I was trying to decide what to do about some green grass that had crept into my flower garden. To pull out the grass or not to pull out the grass…that was the question. I thought to myself, grass isn’t really a weed, but I don’t want it to grow where it is growing.

“Until In-laws Do Us Part: Advice for the Bride-To-Be”
By Jenna D. Barry
Wedding planning tends to bring out the worst in people. That’s a widely known fact…ask any married person.
It’s partly because there are approximately 9,463 decisions to be made while planning a typical medium-sized wedding. Take the cake, for example. Which baker will you use? Which flavor should the cake be? How many layers should it have? How should it be shaped? What should the little statues look like on top?
