southern california guy Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Well let's say you're a woman and the "best friend" outside of your marriage is also a guy. There might be some problems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archaeology cat Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I'm going to agree with L_D, Icey, MIKolbe & Adam here. My husband is my best friend, but so much more than that, too. I don't really refer to him as my best friend, since I tend to think of a childhood friend to whom I'm still close as my BFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] why would i do that? i do talk to him about things that i don't talk to my husband about, but that's because i have so much more history with him. we're like brother and sister without the same parents. i can call him names, but he'll still be there when i am upset or whatever. besides, there's no special feelings for him....never has been. and it goes both ways because he's engaged to my other best friend.

Papist Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I think comparing best friend and spouse is like comparing apples and oranges. I would say my brothers are my best friend. My wife is my friend, yes indeed. I tell my wife all the time that not only do I love you, I also like you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkwright Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 If you look at all the qualities that make your best friend your best friend, you will most likely find all those same qualities in your spouse. If I am going to go out to dinner or spend a day with someone I am going to choose my wife over anyone else. Its not because I feel I have a duty to marriage or something like that, its just because we like spending time together more than we like spending time with other people. Sure there are times we do stuff with other friends - my wife hates going to the gun range. But if I had to choose someone to go on a week vacation with I would choose my wife; not because I'm married to her, but because I enjoy spending my time with her. Marriage is a vocation to love and serve one another. For us, that is also built on a friendship as well. There are times when we act more like brother and sister, have fun and play pranks on each other, times when we act like a loving couple, and times when we sacrifice for the better of the other.
