After you take that walk down the aisle, things will change. Even if you lived together before the wedding, it's very likely that life will seem just a little different after you are legally wed, and that's not a bad thing. It helps your relationship with your spouse continue to evolve. But what about your other relationships?

Friendships outside your marriage can suffer if not tended to properly. This article on MSN Lifestyle provided some interesting insight into friendships after marriage by differentiating the types of friends one might have and the various reactions said friends might have to your newly married status.

• Same-sex friends probably won't pose a huge amount of concern unless one spouse spends A LOT more time with their friends than the other spouse wants. If you feel like your honey is spending too many nights out with the boys, let him know and explain why it bothers you. In this situation, compromise is key.
  
  
• Friends of the opposite sex can be a little trickier (especially if this friend is an ex -- watch out!). These friendships can spark jealousy really quickly. To avoid this, try including your spouse in whatever you're doing with your ex. If he/she wants nothing to do with your friend and doesn't want you around them either, you need to evaluate what's more important to you -- your partner in marriage or your friend. Just be honest, whichever side you're on -- if you're bothered by the relationship, tell him why. Do you think she's a hoochie who's after your man, or do you just not like the fact that he spends any time with another woman?
