The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
This idea that we should be best friends with our partner of the opposite gender leads toward tremendous frustration. Did you ever notice that while men often refer to their wives as best friends, women usually refer to another woman in that way?
I had a realization in the midst of my happy marriage that I had kind of lost most of my friends - my male friends in particular. And I started wondering if my wife, who was certainly my best friend, supplanted those relationships.
The husband and wife are one, and that one is the husband.
You don't have to be married to have a good friend as your partner for life.
Friendship is the marriage of the soul, and this marriage is liable to divorce.
I'm married to my best friend!
My wife and I love each other very much.
It's important to show each other your marriage is a priority.
I think what makes our marriage work amid all the glare is that my husband is my best friend. He inspires everything in my life and enables me to do the best that I can. I want to hang out with him more than anyone.
It's a particularly modern myth that married people are best friends. The best-friend concept is a uniquely female phenomena.
