Mistake #5: Keeping your spouse away from their family.
In the same vein as mistake #4, keeping your spouse away from their family is not wise either. Family is an important part of your life.
Encourage your spouse to spend time with their family – with or without you. Do not try to alienate them and keep them all to yourself.
Mistake #6: Not letting your spouse hang out with their friends.
Similar to mistake #5, your spouse had other relationships before you married. They had friends, coworkers, and acquaintances they hung out with.
Encourage your spouse to maintain those relationships even after you are married. There needs to be a balance between time with you and time with their friends/family.
Mistake #7: Complaining about your spouse to others instead of talking with them.
Does your spouse do things that annoy you? For example, do they never get their dirty underwear in the laundry hamper? Do they never rinse their dishes? Do they have a habit of always leaving the toilet seat up?
Whatever it is, it is best to talk about these things with your spouse, not the general public. This means keeping social media posts and calling friends to complain about your spouse to a minimum.
This only paints your spouse and your relationship in a negative light.
Mistake #8: You stop dating your spouse.
