Can You Still Have Sleepovers, Single Friends & Opposite-Sex Friends When Married?

16 Oct 2026 · 41 min · S3 E4

In this episode, my husband and I sit down for an honest conversation about friendship, marriage, boundaries, and what happens when two people don’t see eye to eye on what is appropriate in a relationship.

We discuss whether married people should have friends of the opposite sex, whether it’s okay to maintain close friendships with single people when you’re married, and whether you should still be having sleepovers at your friends’ houses after getting married. We also get into what happens when you don’t like your partner’s friends, whether your spouse should have a say in who you’re friends with, and how to balance individuality with commitment.

We don’t agree on everything, and that’s exactly what makes this conversation interesting. 😂

In this episode, we discuss:

• What happens when you don’t like your partner’s friends • Having friends of the opposite sex when you’re married • Whether married people should have single friends • Sleepovers with friends after marriage • Boundaries, trust, and respect in relationships • How much should marriage change your friendships?

Now we want to hear from you: Do you think your partner’s friends can be a red flag? And should your spouse have a say in the friendships you maintain?

Drop your thoughts in the comments. We want to hear both sides of this conversation!
