I think of marriage as living as a child in your parents home but you're doing this as a married man. You are restricted to who you can hang out with by your wife because she said so just how your parents wouldn't let you hang out with a certain group of kids because they could spread their bad influence onto you. You have to do what your wife says because she said so just like your parents forcing you to go with them on the trip because they said so. You have to abide by the wife's rules because SHE SAID SO! Just like your parents only allowing you to drink water because it's healthy and nothing else is. You have to ask for permission from your wife to buy the stuff you want because.......SHE SAID SO!! Just like you begging your parents for that expensive bike you want badly but they won't buy it because they feel it's too expensive.
