OPINION: Meghan and Harry's tips for how not to get along with your in-laws
by an announcement that Meghan will not grace the royals in England with her presence for the coronation of her father-in-law as he gets his long-awaited crown. Reportedly, she finds attending the hoopla "inauthentic," and not because a man wearing a long ermine cloak carrying a shiny stick presiding over ribbon cuttings seems fake.
Which words are those exactly? The ones about for better or worse or the ones about joining together to create family, made often at an altar of some kind. As every long-time married person knows, nothing is quite as authentic as showing up with a smile on your face, as often as possible, for the life-moments of those whose DNA now make up your children.
This leads me to a little marital advice that needs to be offered with so many caveats and * as to present a plague of polka dots. Married more than 30 years, my most significant piece of advice is stay loving, say sorry, and be humble, because you will sink and swim in equal measures over time. 1. Don’t manage family relationships with your brand manager. Press agents measure their worth in clicks or news hits.
3. Consider talking more to the people you’re mad at than about them. Writing books and making documentaries about how much you suffered while making millions from your civil war is what we like to call in media relations"a credibility gap." Making money from every fight you’re in can make it appear that it’s profit not pain that drives you.
