I would definitely marry my best friend, in fact, I did! My husband and I have been married for more than 21 years and I still can't think of anyone else I'd rather spend time with.
I think you have to marry your best friend to make it work. That doesn't mean you can't have multiple besties. I would definitely marry my best friend, if it were a guy! Don't want to marry my best girlfriends. Lol
Soppy I know but true, Husband dearest is my best, best friend, the person to whom I turn to before all others. That said I also have other close friends, two female and one male. One of the females I could never marry as we are too alike, the other I would happily marry. As for my male friend, I love him as a friend but there is no chemistry there and he is too big a mans man if you know what I mean - he isn't at all in touch with his feminine side which is important to me.
Sometimes a person marries a best friend and the marriage doesn't last a life time.It is also true that when a person marries some one who can become the best friend can also find that the marriage does not go all the way.It all depends on chemistry,understanding, appreciation,being comfortable and enjoying each others company.It takes a lot of conscious effort to make marriages work.
Your idea of marrying someone who can be your best friend is wonderful because both of you are starting with a mystery and will work hard to retain the marriage.
the person you love and marry can, and should become your best friend. But if someone is already your best friend then I would say you shouldn't try to mess with something that is already perfect :)
I believe I'd only marry my best friend. But then I have several of those yet only one who qualifies for marriage. Glad I don't feel the need to get "legally" married.
My best friend is a fat puerto rican dude so no. Also, I think it's a bit illegal to marry a guy here still. I'd hope the girl I do marry is that close to me though.
Women and men have different kinds a friendships. It's important to keep a best friend around, separate from one's spouse, for the support and sounding board. xo
I define "best friend" differently when it comes to my husband. I think that we're connected in a powerful way through love and affection, but I feel more of the best friend pull with my girl friends. I think that all those areas can be covered by multiple people.
For sure one of the greatest challenges, being married AND becoming friends. Guess it takes a couple of years, to say the least, this being possible. Yet, once being done, for sure one of the greastest support ever being possible. A promise in the making. Please have a good Thursday.
A most interesting and thought provoking question. Certainly I am married to my best friend but maybe there needs to be a level of personal tension to have real sexual tension. Some of the people I have been most attracted to are those I haven't liked very much on a personal level and would never dream of marrying.
I just think that it's important for a marital relationship to have an underlying basis of friendship. Quite often the lust fades after the initial blush and there needs to be something to hold the relationship together. Any couple that's been married any length of time will tell you that marriage is work and that it evolves over time. It helps when you're friends as well as lovers.
I think that you don't have to marry your best friend, but in general if you get along with your best friend & you want to marry it's perfectly fine as long as you are compatible in the relationship.
The relationship connection between the two should feel like best friends that care about each & are always there with each other.

I don't think there are any preset conditions for marriage, Betty. I think that wherever the love flows is where our hearts should follow. My husband and I share a huge friendship, and I think that's very important to the lasting of our relationship. But then... if the person is already your best friend but there isn't that special love... the marriage doesn't quite work there, either.
When the right person comes along, we know it. And that's just the best deal ever! ;-)
lol i couldn't marry my best friend because well i have a few of them and they are all gals! :) My husband has definetly become my #1 best friend though over the years we've been together and married. Bestest:)
WOW… @ one point my best friend was a guy… for several years, actually. I really thought & believed & hoped in my heart that I would marry him. I remember telling him this 10 yrs ago or so… @ one point a few yrs ago he said that he loved me & wanted to be with me, but he lives 3 hours from me. I wasn’t willing to embark on a LD rela. & he wasn’t willing to move. I never heard from him again. Maybe he wasn’t my best friend after all?
I don’t think you HAVE to marry your BF, but I do agree… the one you marry SHOULD be your BF.
I think you can have more than one "best friend." I also think your spouse should be one of them. I'm happy to report that my wife really is my best friend...
I think it's a combination. I think there has to be the "best friend" going on, in that the person you marry should be the person you like, enjoy, and trust the most. In addition to that -- you also need the joy and excitement of the passion.
Passion doesn't have to die, but it does need tending.
I've remained unmarried because I've yet to meet someone I believed could go the distance with me. I'm grateful for the many wonderful friends and lovers in my life, but, as yet, haven't found the "best friend" I've also wanted to marry.

I couldn't marry my best friend..he is a dude!
ReplyDeleteI think my bride became my best friend over the years we were married.
I married my best friend.It only lasted 20 1/2. years. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a firm believer in multiple 'best' friends :)
ReplyDeleteOf course! Will you marry me? lol!!!

The catch is to remain "best friends" after marriage.
ReplyDeleteHave a great evening Betty.

I would definitely marry my best friend, in fact, I did! My husband and I have been married for more than 21 years and I still can't think of anyone else I'd rather spend time with.

ReplyDeleteI say all relationships that are good must start with being friends, so yes I would marry my bestie;)
ReplyDeleteI have been married to my best friend for nearly 32 years...and I would not have it any other way.
ReplyDeleteAnyway works out fine with me. Love can happen anyhow!
ReplyDeleteJoy always,

I say never marry a best friend, but make sure when you marry that it turns into a best friend.
ReplyDeleteIts tricky but it has to work that way to last
I like what Sir Thomas had to say!
ReplyDeleteOnly marry your best friend!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS HONEY!!!! Kori xoxo
ReplyDeletethe person you love and marry can, and should become your best friend. But if someone is already your best friend then I would say you shouldn't try to mess with something that is already perfect :)
ReplyDeleteIf you feel attracted to your best friend, I mean physically...so why not? xx
ReplyDeleteNice post my friend.
ReplyDeleteI think you have to be best of friends, if not, then the marriage might not last.
I believe I'd only marry my best friend. But then I have several of those yet only one who qualifies for marriage. Glad I don't feel the need to get "legally" married.

ReplyDeleteI did marry my best friend.
ReplyDeletee case is totaly different of the other ... i don't know .
ReplyDeletea marriage can ruin a friendship .
but ... try . why not ?

I could not say that my boy friend is my best friend, but I don't have any friends as intimate as him.
ReplyDeleteI call my girlfriend of 40+ years my best friend but my husband is my best best friend....he truely knows me and still loves me!

ReplyDeleteI totally agree! However, I'm just not so sure I ever want to get married again...I like the freedom of being single.
ReplyDeleteHe has been my best friend for 17 years and my husband for 12 years:)
ReplyDeleteCheers to friendship and love!
Wow that is one heavy question. I think it will have to depend on the situation.
ReplyDeleteI have many best friends and definitely married one of them!
ReplyDeleteYes I could marry my best friend but I don't think my wife would be too pleased about it!!!
ReplyDeleteOnly joking Betty, I could and I did 6 years ago now.
My best friend is Megan. My greatest love, next to the dude of course, is the hubs!
ReplyDeleteYep, I would!
ReplyDeleteWOW… @ one point my best friend was a guy… for several years, actually. I really thought & believed & hoped in my heart that I would marry him.

I'm married to the guy who became my best friend for 14 years now. I'm your newest follower.
ReplyDeleteIf you feel attracted to your best friend, physically, you don't have to marry him/her...:) there are many ways to solve this problem :)
ReplyDeleteI think you can have more than one "best friend." I also think your spouse should be one of them. I'm happy to report that my wife really is my best friend...
ReplyDeletebest friend remains best friend..
ReplyDeleteMy husband is, without a doubt, my best friend. However, I think it is important to have a best girl friend, too.
ReplyDeleteI married one of my best friend, he really did overtime in wooing me though. LOL.

We often said we were best friends before we married. After sixteen years we still are so I'm a believer.
