Default Friendship in Marriage

I find that in a marriage friendship is something important, and im really glad that my hubby is my best mate!

For some this may not be the case, and they dont have much of a friends relation, just of a husband and wife which is nothing wrong either....but when you bring friendship in your marriage I think it makes you more closer.

Do you have friendship in your marriage?

Do you think this is something necessary?

I believe that it is necessary to be friends with your spouse. It makes the communication and understanding much easier in a relationship and also makes it lots more fun to be with your partner. If you can't be friends, you can not really be lovers anyway.

I think friendship in marriage is very important, its a key success to marriage. If you can be your spouses friend, then your marriage is bound to last and your more likely to have a happy marriage.

Yes, my husband is my best friend. He says I am his, too. Just like any friends, we have common interests, and we also have interests that we don't share - for example, I don't like going to ball games, and he is not much of a reader while I love books. That's perfectly fine. True friendship would not be affected by such things.

For me, friendship is the key ingredient to every relationship. Even if you are married, try to keep the friendship alive. It makes marriage more fun and enjoyable. Do you think there would be disadvantages when you end up with a friend? Well, I think there would be none.

I honestly feel this is the main reason me and my ex didn't make it. We jumped so quickly into the physical and then we moved in. Everything happened soooo fast that there was no time where we were just friends. I think it's best to take things slow, or at least, if you're not happy, get out and don't stay longer, because all that's going to do is hurt both of you more

It will be good if your partner is your best friend. Wherein you can tell him just about anything, and can even enjoy talking so much together. My husband is my friend, I can tell him anything.

Friendship is the foundation of every relationship. My husband and I started as friends so we seldom fight. I guess it helps to make the communication better. It would be easier for you to accept what kind of personality your partner have. If you treat your partner as a friend, do you tell them everything even your secrets?

Most happy couples I know are friends, not just spouses. I love it when I see an older couple who has been through a lot, raised kids, and yet they have not turned into just "parents" who have lost their personal interests, personal life, and their special relationship with each other. Being true friends has a lot to do with it.
