Many people believe that once a man or woman agrees to marry them, that’s all that matters. But that’s far from the truth.
The family you marry into plays a significant role in the peace and quality of your marriage. Some families are deeply problematic. From the moment you say “I do,” the real battle begins—fights, disrespect, abuse, and in some cases, spiritual attacks. Sadly, your own partner may even join forces with their family against you, leaving you isolated, broken, or forced to walk away from the marriage.
On the other hand, if you’re blessed to marry into a family that loves you—especially one where your spouse’s mother embraces you with a kind heart—you are one of the luckiest people on earth. That kind of love and support is rare and precious.
The signs are usually there during courtship. A lady once told me how her mother-in-law swore that she would never allow her to marry her son. She forced her way in, thinking love would conquer all, but since then, it’s been one spiritual and emotional battle after another.
Whether you’re a man or woman, please take this seriously: the family you marry into matters. Some families are just toxic—let me say it plainly, some are evil. And it’s even worse when your partner is either blind to their actions or lacks the courage to defend you.
For me, my wife is a core part of my life and my assignment. Anyone who disrespects or abuses her has automatically done the same to me. I don’t separate her pain from mine.
So choose wisely. Love is not blind—don’t let it blind you to the reality of what you’re stepping into.
