When you were a child living in your parent's house, you did not interfere in their marriage and now that you are married, your parents should not interfere in your marriage. Just as you had respect for their house, they are to have respect for your house.
In Matthew 19:5-6 it states, "For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they twain shall be one flesh. Wherefore, they are no more twain, but one flesh. Therefore, what God hath joined together, let no man put asunder." and then it is said again. In Genesis 2:24, "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh."
As you are to always honor and respect your parents, you are to cleave together as husband and wife. Continue to make decisions based on the greater good of your union together according to the plan of God. It is possible to maintain a positive and Godly relationship with both sets of parents, but your spouse is to be the one that you turn to in terms of your marriage. Do not involve your parents in the details of your marriage.
Your parents did the same so they will respect and honor you for doing the same. Seek God first in all circumstances and situations and he will give you the answer.
