As much as you can avoid it, try not to put yourself in a situation where your spouse has to choose between you and their family.
If your spouse chooses you over their family, you would have won the immediate war but God help you with the battle ahead.
If you can, as a spouse, don't even get caught up in sibling rivalry between your spouse and their people. Navigate delicately & intricately
So long as it is not a quarrel involving deliberate harm and/or danger to your spouse & their interests, dodge as much bullets as you can.
Blood is a very complex thing. It has a pull, a magnetic force of its own and I hate to tell you, but it is not 'acquirable' by marriage.
A friend & his older brother do not talk. An ego thing. You should here his wife talking to the estranged brother on the phone. Buddies.
Brother travels regularly and makes it a point of duty to buy stuff for the brother's children which he sends to the wife. He's there boning
When I asked her how she manages it: "They will never stop being brothers. They will one day sort it out. I won't be caught in the middle."
It feels good for huge sacrifices to be made for you. But that is a burden you dont need. It is a sword that could be called forth anytime.
"So after turning my back on my family for you, this is what I get from you"?. Trust me. There is no version where this question ends well.
May the Lord grant us wisdom per time in our journey of life.
