The September contest #1 sduttaskitchen| Can a best friend become a good life partner?
Introduction |
|---|
Hi friends. When we're talking about best friends, we're talking about people we're fun of, people we're very comfortable with, talk freely with and most times spend our time with them.
I understand that being one's best friend doesn't just start in one day, it's a journey of many years that takes a long time of studying each other, understanding what you want and what you don't want in friendship. Sometimes, best friends can also be childhood friends, people who grew up knowing each other, and they eventually bond like family and become best friends.
In marriage, it is often said you should marry your friend, someone you're naturally bonded with and also free with. The big question is, can your best friend become a good life partner?
In order not to deviate, let me follow the contest hints.
Do you think a best friend can become a good life partner? Your viewpoint! |

My answer is yes. One's best friend can be a good life partner. My reason is that they have been close, they know each other's likes and dislikes and can tell others about their strengths and weaknesses and can possibly understand themselves and move on with each other. I mean they already loved themselves, although it may not have been a romantic love, but that can be developed.
I have a friend who married her nursery school classmate. He became her besty, and then they decided to marry. To her, it was her best decision ever because they understood each other so well, they grew up in the same neighbourhood and went to the same school and same class. It was nothing short of love and unity. I believe they are enjoying their marriage together because they knew and understood each other.
Do you believe Friendship and becoming life partners are distinct? How? |
|---|
While I say yes. It's true that God is the one who ordains everything that happens to us, including the people we meet on our life's journey.
Being a best friend requires love, care, support, trust and understanding, and being one's life partner also entails the same but very dynamic because it entails deeper emotions (romance) and not just love
Being a life's partner is deeper than just friendship but a companion and soul mate. That's why the two are distinct from each other.
Also, being a friend may be shallow, and a life partner is exclusively a lifetime journey together with future and hopes.
Being a life partner is a full of responsibility while friendship may not entail so much responsibility.
Share some pros and cons if one accepts a friend as a life partner! |

Pros
Love: it is easy for the two to love because of that friendship that existed between them.
Understanding: There'll be a deeper understanding between the two of them because of that previous friendship, which had given them an opportunity to know some things about each other.
Trust: Friendship that has been there will be stronger and better and there'll be trust because of their previous friendship.
There'll be stronger and better relationships together.
It is possible to achieve life goals together because they may have had ideas about each other's goals when they were friends and, so, it will be easier since they've known each other's aspirations.
They'll enjoy love and togetherness since they have known each other.
Cons
It can lead to unhealthy familiarity that may;
Leads to disrespect.
People pretend in friendship, marriage relationships may expose their weakness, which may lead to disappointment from the other partner.
Friendship and marriage are two big experiences which look easy and simple but very complex due to an individual's personality.
