1. When parents give too much attention to raising their children, forgetting that they to later part of their life they should prepare for. They will expect too much from them when they grow up. Proverbs 19:4msg

So many parents don’t have work again. They will expect too much from them when they grow up. This is one of the things that cause intrusion today. You don’t throw your own life away while trying to care for your children. 

Because these parents will see their children as the tree to produce their old age shelter and fruits. Parents should plan for their old age even as they are growing their children. Stop laboring with the mentality that your children are your reward. Live s bible-based life. 

Don’t build a future on the air; else you will be fighting the spouses of your children. 
# A tomorrow you have planned for will never bother you again.

2. When parents do not know their limits, they will place unreasonable demands on their children. 1 Corinthians 7:32-34

3. When the parties involved in marriage didn’t their will be crisis. There are things you should discuss and agree before you go to the altar. 

Find out from your spouse;
i. What position he is in the family? Find out who invested in him if he will be responsible for his/her sibling’s wellbeing.
ii. If he/she is the only child of their parent.
iii. Discuss. Spell things out properly.
iv. Ask if he has had a child before.
v. If you will want your parent or family member to stay with you in marriage. Discuss these things.
vi. You must also discuss where you intend to spend festive holidays.

4. When those involved in marriage do no practice their biblical role of honor towards their in-laws. Exodus 18:7

Anyone that has not developed a heart of honor cannot maintain relationship with in-laws. Matthew 8:14-15

Is it wrong for your mother in-law to live with you? No.
A common problem in this generation is that several young people do not have respect. They are afraid that their character will show, so they don’t want their in-law to live with them. Ruth 2:2

The same kind of honor you should give to your parents is the same kind of honor your in-law should deserve because life is a field, your attitude is a seed and will determine the kind of harvest you will have. You can never plant a good character and have a good son/daughter in-law.

So when you think about the future, do well today.
