If you don't feel love and compassion, think twice.

I believe with all my heart that it is nearly always good for a young couple to leave their parents church and branch out. It is just another part of leaving the nest. It is one thing if you don't do this because their is no other obvious place to go but quite another if it is the mother-in-law wanting to keep her baby close to her.
The best thing we ever did was travel across the country a few years after getting married. Prior to that we walked out of my wife's church partially because of long deep family politics (hers) but mainly because of the pastors ridicules teachings on marital sex and procreation.
