The latest episode of "The UMB Pulse Podcast" will be released Friday, Feb. 3.
Whether you recently got engaged or might get a proposal on Valentine's Day or in the upcoming months, it may mean meeting your in-laws for the first time or building your relationship with them more fully. University of Maryland School of Social Work professors Geoff Greif, PhD, MSW, and Michael Woolley, PhD, MSW, provide tips and anecdotes of how married couples get along with their in-laws in this wide-ranging interview to help new couples start off on the right foot.
Greif and Woolley also touch on adult sibling in-laws (36:15), what happens when grandchildren enter the picture (42:05), LGBTQ+ relationships with in-laws (47:09), and preview their new research on multiracial marriages (53:34). They are co-authors of the books "In-Law Relationships: Mothers, Daughters, Fathers, and Sons," where 1,175 in-laws were surveyed for their research, and "Adult Sibling Relationships."
