We cut out those opposite sex friendships- chatting and texting all the time and hangin out alone, etc. We had to cut out making purchases before getting the consent from the other person (unless it's a surprise. Also- going to our parents first for advice before we consult each other...now we discuss it together and decide if we want parents or other peoples advice. I'm sure there's more that I just cant think of right now. =) Happy day!
This is an expression that came from men being so tied to their moms that they said that they needed to be cut loose from their mom's apron strings. Then I looked it up in the Wikipedia see this webpage-> http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_meaning_of_tied_to_her_apron_strings
So if it means kind of the same thing like cutting the cord?? I've never really had that problem with Ryan, but I definitely know that the biggest thing me and my friends focus on is the fact that any large decisions are made between husband and wife. Problems within a marriage are generally kept within the marriage. Parents are great for advice, but they no longer have the responsibility of receiving revelation for you and your marriage.
I have also known many couples where one or the other talk to their moms like.... everyday on the phone. It is MY opinion that that is no longer necessary when married. Keeping good contact with your mom is one thing, but I don't think it should be an everyday occurence.
I think that when you get married you have found/chosen a life partner. Next to God this person comes before anything else.My husband and I made a promise to eachother that when we fight, for the most part we should keep it between us, and we deal with it. Not our moms, dads, brother... friends or other family members. We have found that we are in charge of taking care of our relationship, and if you let other people into marriage conflicts they can influence negative behavior. It is not to say that family doesn't mean well, but for us the key is to try our best at working together to fix problems, and it makes us strong. Also we very rarely go out alone with friends. Everyonce in a while is okay, but you shouldn't make a habit of it, because it steers some people to a seperate lives.. and you should always work to be a team!
