Marriage can change a person's priorities but it doesn't mean you cannot remain friends if you both really try hard to maintain the relationship. It doesnt mean his marital relationship is more important than his sibling one but remember this is a new marriage and there have probably been a lot of changes in his life. It is up to you to keep the sibling relationship going strong if you really want it that way by arranging meet ups etc. Tell him that you feel you and he are drifting apart and that you think you should both make an effort to keep in touch.
