Should Your Spouse Be Your Best Friend?


Do you think that your spouse should be your best friend? Do you sometimes wish that you and your spouse should be best friends? Why? Does being best friends lead to a successful marriage? That's what we are going to cover in this article. Read till the end to know more about the above questions. 

“Having a partner who is your best friend can be sweet, but it doesn’t have to be that way,” says psychologist Scott Bea, PsyD. If you get a chance to have a spouse who is your best friend that's good for me. Saying best friend, you can marry your best friend or you can become best friends after getting married. What would you prefer for you? 

Actually, always friendship help you to be happy. Maybe you have friends or even a best friend, how do they make you feel? If they make you feel better and happy, they are good friends.

 Friends make life more fun in good times and offer support and comfort during rough times. Having a good friendship with your spouse have a huge impact on your mental health and happiness. He/she may support you in relieving your stress, provide comfort and joy, and prevent loneliness and isolation. Developing close friendships can also have a powerful impact on your physical health. 

In a marriage you share a lot of responsibilities like bills, kids, laundry, cooking,.... so your friendship can make this simpler to do. 

With the truth many people don't want to agree with is that magic of romantic love can start to fade. You start feeling bored and the problem is that marriage is forever.  You fall in love. You get married. Once the passion fades, then you’re stuck. For a long-term relationship, friendship is a key ingredient.

 Researchers have also found that those who say they’ve married their best friend are more likely to be happier and more satisfied with their life. The  main contributor to a person’s mental and physical health is how supported one feels in the relationship. For a happier relationship, you want both people in the relationship to feel like the other person knows the real them, how to support them in a way they prefer, and the situations where they would need support without being asked. That’s what we might consider a best friend, someone who can figure out those things without being asked, who can know what we need in any situation, and who has our backs.

The benefits of being a best friend with your spouse:

1. You can be yourself with your best friend (spouse): You don’t have to fake yourself when you are with your best friend. They know you in and out. And that is the best part of this relationship! You can be yourself and speak your mind. You don’t have to worry about being judged.

Even if you throw tantrums, your best friend will know the best way to handle that and bring you back to being normal. Imagine yourself having this equation with your spouse; isn’t it comforting?

2. You can avoid the distressing emotional dramas

Marriage is based on respect. They are void of the opportunity to engage in endless arguments, insults, or psychological games. Although friends do fight, they do it constructively. When it comes to true friendship, you do not engage in emotional blackmail to prove your point.

You know that you can speak your heart out, so there’s no reason for you to get into those insane melodramatic commotions. So if you decide to marry your best friend, you are actually buying yourself a lot of peace!

3. Communication became easy: Communication is a key in marriage. With effective communication, you can have a successful marriage. And You can communicate well with your best friend, which means that you and your spouse can communicate very well. 

So, if you decide to marry your best friend, you will be marrying someone with whom you already learned how to express your needs and emotions assertively. And if by the time you manage to became a best friend with your spouse, then your communication will improve dramatically. 

The benefits are so many, by concluding I can say that having a spouse who is your best friend is advantageous for both of you. I wish you luck in your marriage.
