Re: having friends of opposite gender after being committed/married
That sounds strange to me. Do you love your friends “just as much” as your parents? Would you love your friends “just as much” as your kids? Yes, every relationship has its importance and place and that’s exactly why they are not equal and therefore some rishtay will (and should) naturally receive greater priority than others in terms of time and attention and sacrifice. I don’t believe that socialization with the opposite gender can continue with the same level of frequency and the same amount of laxity as it did prior to marriage.
