Should i be a loving or controling husband?

Thanks my friend.

If you do not want to then no need to be so close to family of her side. Not mandatory. But with time when you have children you will eventually need to.

Before marriage single girls and men are kinda rough, too idealistic, self loving or self centered, and marriage makes them more polished and diplomatic.

Just as a joke: Why do you want to lose the chance of good food and Daawat from her side of family? :-)
