Marrying a best friend?
by Satish gohade on Apr 16, 2008 04:45 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Marrying a best friend is not a good idea. Friends are for to help when no one can help. Marriage to a best friend leaves you no one to share anything and you are deprived of best advice. Best friend is like a god in whom you can have faith and who can boost your life without even praying.

how many best friends will be with you for life long. once they get committed nobody will come for your help. eveybody in life have their own priorities. as life goes on and you are in your 30 and 40 you have to handle your own problems. why on earth do you want to rely on somebodys advice. arent you that strong to take your own decisions and decide what is right and what is wrong. come on, grow up.

A best friend need not come for help if s/he is incapable of doing so even when unmarried. Most of us will not break a friendship on that account. If it happens that person was not a true friend in the first place.

After marriage this instances of incapability should be expected to increase many folds.

However, marrying a best friend is still may not a good idea, if you are expecting that the friendship will last forever. It may not happen in many cases. There are just too many compromises and sacrifices to be made in a married life.

This is true! becoz a best friend is always a best friend in whom we trust and share. But when relationship changes to lifepartner, the trust, love and other essence will also tend to change.

Secondly we can share all (all means ALL) things with your best friend, but when he or she becomes your life partner, we cant share everything as we need to maintain a healthy relationship we tend to hide few things.

Finally, as the days go by and in the process of hiding few things, one tend to search for another best friend to share, which lead to relationship break down. Also the existing partner may feel that my best friend turned a life partner is not as good as before, and thus causing bitterness in Life.
