8 things to protect your marriage from

It’s natural for friends, parents, or in-laws to have opinions, but letting them call the shots in your marriage is a recipe for disaster. When outside voices start driving your decisions, it cracks your unity as a couple.

The Fix: Set a hard line. Be polite but completely firm.Your partner is your primary team now, not your parents or your best friends. Handle outside interference together, as a united front, so there’s no room for division.
