Is your spouse/ partner your best friend?

[arunima25]

It is said that marrying or being in relationship with your best friend is blessing. Well, not everyone is so lucky to get that kind of blessing..but then you can always be friendly with your spouse or partner. If not the best friend, he/she can be a very close friend. If friendship is there in the relationship, it becomes very easy and smooth. There are less inhibitions and more closeness. Open communication thrives. Mutual respect is there also you respect each other's private space and boundaries. This all makes your relationship thrive.
Do you have a friendly relationship with your partner? How do you feel about it? Share your thoughts and experiences.

I would say that I have a friendly relationship with my partner and would also go as far as to say that we are best friends

We tell each other everything and we are always there for one another too, supporting one another as best we can

@Shortie . I am glad to know that. I can relate to that. I didn't marry my best friend. I married him after we were very good friends. And now without any doubt, I can say that he is my best friend and the most reliable one. Out of all the things that I value our relationship for, friendship is the topmost. We don't fear judgement and can pour our heart out to each other.

If I have a partner they will definitely be my best friend. That is why I am not a fan of my partner having such close friends, I mean what are we now doing? I want to be everything to the person I am with, no exceptions. If we will be living together and doing life together, then we should be able to be everything we need to one another.

Yes, I have a friendly relationship with my wife, and we share almost everything with each other. We argue, we fight, but after a few minutes, we again become friends. It's necessary to have a friendly relationship with your spouse; otherwise, you won't feel homely at home.

Yeah, my partner is pretty much my best friend. We gist, argue, and still end up laughing like nothing happened. That’s one thing I really value. To be honest, not every day is rosy, but that friendship part makes things a lot easier. I think that’s what keeps us growing strong , honestly.

That is the exact point of being in any kind of close relationship. You make this person one you experience life with together. You will have good times and bad times, but you keep on going regardless.

By right, a partner is supposed to be the best friend and confidant anyone has. I am not yet married. But I seriously hope that when I eventually do, I would be able to build a relationship that my partner is my best friend. If you have a partner that you are so free with, that you can expose your vulnerability to, it is just pathetic. I grew up seeing my parents living as best friends and confidant. And I am certain that is the kind of relationship that I want to build.

It's best to have a life's partner my best friend. But I am not married so I can't say the exact answer. Perhaps not a friend as the spouse but base on love that is developed by time and nurtured by trust and respect.
