Dr. Phil

“My Parents Won't Accept My Controlling Pastor Husband” (13x86)

Air date: Jan 20, 2015

It has been more than eight years since Sarah married her pastor husband, Jason, but she says her parents, Bill and Laura, won’t accept him and won’t stop meddling in her marriage — and she’s tired of being caught in the middle. Bill and Laura say they have good reason to interfere — they claim Jason is controlling, verbally abusive and is just using Sarah to keep up his image in the church community. Jason admits he can be overbearing and “a jerk” at times, but he insists he loves his wife and children and says Bill and Laura are the real problem. Emotions run high when these feuding in-laws face each other on Dr. Phil’s stage. Have Bill and Laura overstepped their bounds? Are they justified in their concerns? Plus, don’t miss Part 2 tomorrow! Tensions boil even higher when Jason’s parents join the conversation. What do they say about this union?
