You’ve probably heard somewhere that we all either marry our mom or our dad. Since I had a great mother-in-law, this wasn’t a horrible thought for me.

Clinical Psychologist, author, and Director of Research and Education for the Glendon Association, Dr. Lisa Firestone, reviews why this happens and what you can do to make your marriage different.
