Marry Your Best Friend

I have always dreamed of marrying my best friend. Nothing sounds more appealing than being able to spend eternity with the person whom you consider to be your best friend.

It wasn't until this week that I realized the importance of being married to your best friend.

By definition a best friend is one's closest friend.  A best friend is someone who generally shares your same interests, is someone you can talk to, someone who will help guide you through life.  

Honestly, why wouldn't you want to marry your best friend!

Not only is it important to marry your best friend but it is important to continue to grow that friendship while you're married.  Most would consider this "dating your spouse".  But to me I think furthering and strengthening your friendship while your married is more about the spontaneous moments rather than the planned.  The small talks on the couch about nothing, the spur of the moment campout in your living room, playing games, etc.  

Marriage is a big commitment. When you decide to get married you generally spend all of your time with your spouse, so you'd better like him.  I think for some people eventually they call their spouse their best friend, but how wonderful would it be to call them that before they were your spouse.

Friends get to know each other on a  whole different level.  There is a lot of pressure to be your perfect self when you're dating.  There is less pressure when you're becoming friends.  Build a friendship first, a friendship where you ask the tough questions, a friendship where they know you better than yourself and vice versa.  Build a friendship that you're never going to want to lose and then take the next step.
