Day 19: Respect Your In-Laws
Without thinking too hard, I'm sure all of us can come up with a situation we've witnessed where a spouse doesn't like their in-laws, or if not that, I'm sure you could easily remember a joke you were once told on the same topic.
I hate to say that I've witnessed this too. It disrupts family flow and tends to disappoint other members of the family.
Rabbi Telushkin provided us with a great example: Moses. I mean who better than Moses, right? Moses had the utmost amount of respect for his father in-law Jethro even though they weren't of the same people. Moses was quick to listen to everything Jethro said and even follow through on advice Jethro gave him.
