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.

Stroking Husbands Egos
Wives if you haven't realized it by now, you have been under a rock but men have egos. This includes tongue talking, Bible reading, Christian men of God. If you try to deny it in any way, shape or form it will raise unnecessary havoc in your marriage.
Wives must realize that men do not like to be told what to do. Even when they are wrong they would much rather let themselves fail and get back up on their own than to have their wives tell them ahead of time. If you don't believe me, think of how many disagreements have happened because husbands were driving somewhere unknown and will drove in a million circles even though the wife knew the correct route. Often times the same thing occurs in daily situations such as financial, economic,and administrative matters. In Ephesians 5:23, " For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church, and he is the savior of the body."
There will be times when we have to stroke their egos so that they can continue to follow Christ Jesus and not get in the way. Just as we are to trust the trinity of God, we are to trust our husbands. Trust that your husband will get you through the situation. It is vital that your husband believes that you honor, trust, and respect him according to the word of God.
