Alone with the In-Laws

Reverend Kate Bottley helps a couple find out what their expectations are of married life, each spending a few days living alone with their respective in-laws-to-be.

Chris and Stacey from Bristol are getting married in summer 2017. Planning for the big day is one thing, making a success of the years that follow is another. What do they both expect of married life? Reverend Kate Bottley suggests an unusual way to help them find out.

Kate wants Chris and Stacey to spend a few days living alone with their respective in-laws-to-be to explore what they can learn about the person they love from the parents who raised them. And what can their in-laws' marriage tell them about their partner's expectations of married life?
