Hello Snowday,

I am gonna try and help regarding your in-laws as best as I can. First of all, I think that it is very Christ like to consider your relationship between your in-laws:) Some married couples do not care to have a relationship with their in laws. Deep down inside your husband has to appreciate your concern for his folks, so I say continue to do Christ like gestures. Love them unconditionally as you love your husband! You have to consider that your in-laws may never call your due to their own issues, but I can guarantee that they will call if you develop a prayer time regarding this. God will answer your prayers. Come boldly to his throne to ask for help regarding this issue. I would also suggest that if you begin to send cards, and kind gestures regarding their birthdays, they will begin to see Christ in you. You also mentioned that you married into another faith, consider that God has not given you His perfect will, but His permissive will. This means that God honored your request to be married, but maybe it wasn't his perfect will for you to marry out of your faith. To elaborate on that subject we are not to be unequally yolked with unbelievers. Maybe God wants you to endure some suffering in your marriage so that He can bring you to where He wants you to be. I know this is a strong comment, but I am in this forum because I seek spiritual guidance and Godly wisdom in my own marriage. Therefore I am not going to give you less than what I am here for and that is for the truth. You also have to give your husband some time to open up regarding his parents. (this  could take years but keep praying) Your goal as a Christian is to win your hubby's family to Christ. So lead by example. Don't get frustrated because your husband won't open up or stand up to his folks about calling. You'd have to leave this one up to the Lord to fix you can't fix it on your own. The holidays are coming, send them a post card with you and your hubby's picture on it so evertime they look at your pics it will burn them up that they don't call you guys. LOL Also start buy calling them to check in  on them. You said that his mom seems depressed, maybe you can be that shining light th at God called us as Christians to be. Hope this  helps :_
