The reason for my question is because my sister and I used to be so close until I got married now I barely ever see them especially my little sister. We were closer than my older sister and I have been in a long time.

Just talk to them about it and ask them why you guys don't hang out anymore. Make sure you tell them that just because you have a hubby it doesn't mean you can't spend time together and do sister things. They might just figure you don't have the time or don't want to, so let them know you miss them and love them. Maybe invite them over for dinner or a girls night out.

You can still spend time with her by having something called a girls night out or depending on her age call it a "sisters get together" day. Take her out to lunch and a little shopping. She might like the new arrangement and it will give her something to look forward to either once a week or every other week.

It depends on the ages of you and your sister. Sometimes relatives view marriage as a loss rather than a gain. (Like the old adage says, "You're not losing a sister, you're gaining a brother-in-law.") Obviously your priorities now lie with your husband, but make sure to take time out to show your sister how much she still means to you, as well.

She may never understand.. Besides, you are grown and married now.. By you leaving home and getting married is the natural progression of life...Everything moves on and forward. Its very normal so don't worry about it. You can still email, call and write and visit once in a while.. She will do the same thing when she grows up and marries.

Well it really is not your fault at all. But maybe your sister needs to get in a seriouse relationship to understand. is she not happy for you? But maybe you should treat her somewhere special, so she doesnt think that you guys are flowing apart. Another suggestion is setting her up with a blind date, or telling her to date more. or go on double dates so she can experiance a relationship. For your younger sister spend time with her off the weekend. Treat her with ice cream. She will love it..

I think that you should slowly but surely build your relationship up. Go out shopping or something, just the two of you. Start off with it now and then, then make it more often, and you'll be back together before you know it!

you did change. it's normal. all women spend more time on their nuclear family after they have kids. if anyone should be spending the effort to keep the relationship up, it should be you.
i also heard this in two different countries. once a woman marries, they disappear. parents accept it.

youve changed, but for the best. It will just take time for your sister to see that
