to do what our parents say. But how much are we obligated to listen to them when we're adults?

Children should still respect their parents when the are adults, but you have your own authority. You are an adult, make your own choices. You are obligated to be respectful though

You should honor and respect your parents always.
But, an adult is repsonsible for making their own choices.
If the adult child is not living in the parents' home, then they make their own decisions. Agree to disagree with parents, and try to avoid confrontations, but basically the parents are out of the picture on telling an adult child what to do.

no you are supposed to respect your parents as adults but as adults you now are in charge of your own life. you are not obligated to listen to them, but listen and use what you can then make your own decisions. otherwise you will never grow up and they will always have control over you, that is not what the bible intended.

I have gone over and over about this issue with my husband. His parents try to dictate our lives and we are 41, and 44! I believe we should respect our parents when we are adults, but when you are married and have your own children it is time to realize that we are capable of living a moral life on our own. As the Bible says...."a man will leave his mother and father to be one with his wife."

Right away in Genesis we see a bit of the answer to your question.
After Eve was created and presented to Adam, he named her and stated.
For this cause, a man shall leave his family and cleave unto his wife. Adam didnt even have parents to leave and gave this very proper advise!
So, no, once married your parents have no more authority over you than you give them. This is not the same as honoring them, you should do this as long as they are alive on this earth, but you are not under their authority.

My advice is in case you experience this may develop into the case, or if even now, you experience your self over-reacting to issues, being bodily, verbally or mentally abusive in besides, to seek care and treatement. The belongings you went by have a way of manifesting themselves till you experience you have not any administration of your self, and at a particular element, do not see that there's a situation. that you situation about it really is a reliable signal although. if you're depressed, it truly is something that needs to be dealt with clinically, and could be helped with medicine and established psychiatric treatement which could assist you make sure your topics and stay a in good structure and happier life.

As an adult, you are still bound to HONOR your parents. You have your own life to live. However, you ARE supposed to care for them in their old age.

Never listened to my parents when I was a kid, why start now?
I respect, and appreciate my mother, but feel my obligation is to be supportive rather than compliant.

That is one of the more stupid commandments. Respect is earned. I do not care who you are. I'm not going to give respect to a meth head parent.
