You feel guilty if you don't tell your parents details of your marriage--even when your spouse has asked you to keep something between the two of you.  

2.  You feel guilty if you don’t tell your parents details of your marriage–even when your spouse has asked you to keep something between the two of you.  

Again, we must give our first loyalty to our spouse.  So, if he/she has asked us to NOT discuss something with our parents, then we need to honor that request.  If not, we are going to lose our spouse’s trust, and trust is essential in a marriage.  Therefore, we must do everything we can to protect it.

If our parents press us on the matter, then we must politely tell them that “we are working it out” or “I appreciate you wanting to help, but this is something the two of us need to figure out together”.  Our parents may not like these responses, but they must respect these boundaries for our marriage to be strong and united.  And, the more we continue to uphold these boundaries, the more our parents will learn to respect them and us as a married couple.
