Marriage Roles

Roles that change once you get married:

·         Sharing time between in-laws

·         Daily routines or personal habits (Eating habits)

·         Sharing EVERYTHING!

·         Sleeping habits (going to bed and waking up at the same time)

·         Gender expectations

·         Birth Control (which type to use)

·         Decision Making

·         When you become married or engaged they become your best friends.  You need to let go of all your opposite gender friends.  It’s a serious boundary issue when you are too friendly with the opposite gender while married.  When you cannot draw those clear boundaries that person is not ready for marriage.  It gives people an emotional connection when talking to the opposite sex.  Don’t think you can get around it.
