The September contest #1 sduttaskitchen| Can a best friend become a good life partner?
Greetings everyone. I am glad to be here to join this interesting contest again. Thank you incredible India community and the moderators for a good job. Here is my opinion about the topic we are discussing.
Do you think a best friend can become a good life partner? Your viewpoint!
I am still a young girl and may not know much about life but from my little experience and knowledge, My viewpoint is that marriage is not meant to be for only lovers but also people who are friends. Infact we see it written everywhere that we should marry our friend.
Why are the marriage counselors asking us to marry our friend? Even those who are not friends when they get married are asked to try and develop friendship with their partners. This is because marriage is better when you are married to your friend. I strongly think that when someone is your friend, the person can become a good life partner that is when it’s between the opposite sex.
When people are in good friendship relationships, they do not pretend. You know each other very well and Infact I think that nobody knows you very well more than your friend. Your friend is able to tell you your wrongs and right and what you are doing well and what you are not doing well.
When you people finally have this good relationship, you are able to relate well with each other and in that way the marriage have good chances of surviving.
Do you believe Friendship and becoming life partners are distinct? How?
Being friends and becoming life partners are two different things. When people become life partners, they are living in the same house now as married couples and are planning their lives together. This is not the same with when they are friends and live apart from each other. Here they see each other every day and do things together and plan their future together.
If there are things they were hiding from each other, they cannot be able to hide it again because you cannot pretend for so long. So they are entirely different.
Share some pros and cons if one accepts a friend as a life partner!
There are some advantages of having your friend as life partner.
The person knows you better due to the long time of friendship and is able to understand you better more than someone who is not a friend. Even though friendship starts from one day.
Your friend is able to correct you and tell you what you are not doing well for growth but if your spouse is not your friend, some men may not want their wife’s to tell them their wrongs and that leads to problem in the relationship.
They will learn to enjoy each other’s company more because they are friends. Marriage is not always about sex. Sometimes you just want to stay and chat with your friend.
I don’t know if there are any disadvantages maybe except that they may be too familiar with themselves and not treat each other with the right respect needed but this they can work on in maturity.
I strongly believe that it’s better to marry our friend as this will give the marriage the opportunity to last longer.
