I try to control my wife the same amount that she tries to control me, which is to say not much at all but we communicate expectations which we think are reasonable. Like yeah, have friends and hang out with them without me, but I'm gonna be pissed off if you stay out until 3am without checking in. Extreme example, but you get my point. We check in before planning/doing shit that affects each other, and once in a while there is a good reason for the answer to be no.
Communication is the #1 thing that's kept my wife and I happy and together. I don't think it's "controlling" to let my wife know where I'm going, or for her to tell me where she is going, that's just normal married couple stuff.
