>However, I think it’s super duper important not to involve your immediate family in your marital issues. If you’re having a fight with your spouse and vent to your parents about it, you’re more likely to forgive them easier and quicker vs your parents. It just leads to more problems.

This...We don't realize it but we tend to vent about the bad stuff too much and not talk about the good stuff enough. They end up getting a view of your significant other that's both one sided because they are only hearing your perspective but also mostly dominated by all the negative aspects of your relationship.

That and you love your partner, your family loves you first ( most of the time) and are protective of you. You forgive your partner, your family may not.

I know that's assuming healthy family dynamics but it also holds true for close friends

Yep 100%. There’s some things that you definitely need your parents support for. Like spouse abuse, manipulation, hurting children etc but MOST arguments don’t need to be brought up.
