Hi, First of all, I know many people will consider what I say and look for their personal pint of view, but what I'm looking for here, is advice backed up with scriptures (talks from the prophets, general conference, ensign, manuals and obviously the scriptures). I'm not saying that you'll give me bad advice, but that is what I need right now to know how to go on. My wife and I got married 4 months ago after 2 years of courtship. We have a happy marriage but there are some issues that keep repeating on and on and always disrupt our peace. One of those issues is the relation between my wife and her father. I've always been very independant in many ways, don't get me wrong, I love my parents, and we always hugged and stuff but when I left for my mission I was so focused that I did not worry about missing my home. Now that I got married is the same thing, I know I did the right choise about getting married, so I don't feel bad for leaving my parents side. However my wife, is the opposite, her parents and her were always together, she never left their side and on our honeymoon she spent a lot of nights crying and so on for some time after. The problem is, her parents, specially her dad. They treat her as if she was still a little girl. And she always makes decisions based on what they say and she asks them for advise about us all the time. (Don´t get me wrong, I am willing to ask for advice, but I think we should ask each other first and then ask our parents), she likes being treated that way, and I can live with that, sort of, the problem is their shows of affection, I hug my parents when I say hi, I'm fine with that, but one thing is that, and another totally different is this: http://thumb9.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/514156/165214892/stock-photo-happy-young-couple-in-livingroom-sitting-on-couch-watching-television-165214892.jpg The other day we were sitting on the couch, the three of us, and my wife and I were holding hands and her father hugged her with one arm and pulled her towards him leaving me alone with the hand and they like that. My mother in law inmediately told him to let her go because that got me mad (I get along with her qite well, I wonder why?? hahaha) but he said that she was dumb for thinking that way. I was mad. But what can I say? If I tell him anything at all my wife bashes me and gets really mad at me. She would not talk to me until the other day, so I just shut up. Once again the other day same situation sittting i the couch and her father didn't hug her, however she hugged him himself and ended in the same position but hugging him. I'm not a child anymore, I always dreamt about giving myself to my wife and not doing anything to make her feel bad, I put her always on the first place, we go visit my parents once or wice a week, and we go together, she goes everyday to her parents house leaving me alone and for 1 hour or so. I honnestly don't know anymore where I'm standing. Please be understanding with both my thinking and my english (hahah) I want answers but I haven't found much about it, if anyone know I'll be thankfull. Thank you all.
