Re: Can you really put a girl above your mother?
How much time do you spend with your mom while you’re still single? How much do you listen to her, follow her edicts while still being single?
I talk to my mum, listen to her advice, I’d say I love her. However, I’m the one with the final say in all matters me. That’ll have to change if I decide to marry someone. I’ll have to put most of my decisions to vote, negotiate stuff I decide on my own right now. In that sense your spouse is kinda above everyone else around you, even your parents. They have more say in your life - major decisions about it - than everyone else. You shouldn’ be thinking about marriage just yet if you can’t make peace with giving someone that kinda control over your life.
That depends on what kind of role do you play in family life. If you are a leader, you will be expected to take a lead and make the important decisions.
