The dream for many people is to marry their best friend. That’s the fairy tale marriage, one that brings together best friends in holy matrimony. The old adage is to be friends first before becoming lovers. And that successful marriages are built on friendship. You may have heard people talk how they married their best friend, or you may even give that advice. Well, I didn’t marry my best friend, and I’d like to argue that very few people do. When my wife and I were married, we were friends but not best friends. In fact, we were probably better friends before our relationship got serious. The dynamic changed some, but I’m happy to say eventually our friendship was restored. Here are three ways marrying your best friend can become your reality.

Realize your relationship and your love grows over time

My wife and I had the pleasure and privilege of interviewing Mark and Susan (Merrill) for our 7 Rings of Marriage web show. Mark said something simple yet profound during our chat. He said, “Love grows over time.” Meaning your relationship and the way you interact with your spouse today will differ than the way you interact and love your spouse five or ten years from now. Through time, you’ll experience many changes to your relationship. However,just like a plant that is watered and nurtured grows, your love for one another will also grow.

Be the friend you want your wife to be

More often than not, what you give in marriage is what you will receive in return.When we teach our kids how to meet new people and develop friendships, we tell them to be friendly. If you are friendly then you will attract other people who are friendly as well. The same principle applies to our marriages. More often than not, what you give in marriage is what you will receive in return. If we want to be married to our best friend, we need to be the friend we want our wives to be. If we want our wives to listen to us, then we should listen to them. If we want our wives to put our needs first, then we should put their needs first. The list goes on and on. Having a great friendship in marriage starts with us first being the friend we want in our wives.

Focus on the intimacy in your marriage

Most couples really don’t know each other all that much when they first get married. I’ve heard it put this way. When you are dating, you are dating not each other, you are dating each other’s representative. Our “representatives” portray us in our best light — showing our good qualities, looks, and character traits. Our representatives work the few hours we spend together then in marriage we spend all day and every night together—when our “representatives” are not on duty. Finally, the representatives are no longer needed. That’s when all our glory is revealed. We share intimate things we’ve never shared with anyone else. The more intimate moments we share, moments and things we don’t share with anyone else, the better we know one another. Then our friendship is tested and we have the opportunity to really know and love one another.

What is the lifespan of a bestie?

womenshealth.com.au - Science Says This Is How Many Best Friends You'll Have In Your Lifetime

You’d probably give us some serious side-eye, right? After all, they’re your ride or die for a reason: your bond with each other trumps all else.

Well, as it turns out, besties – much alike regular friendships – are fleeting. In fact, new research conducted by The Book Of Everyone has found that most women will have six over the span of her lifetime. The study established these friendships last for 16 years on average. Reason being? Our gal pals tend to slot into the circumstances of our lives – so when we go through major changes (be it moving cities, swapping jobs or leaving uni) these friendships often burn out or become less significant. This totally makes sense when you consider that women spend 67 per cent more time working on our romantic relationships compared to our friendships. But here’s the thing: the standard time it takes for love to fizzle is just 10 years. Plus, one in ten women admit they have more fun with their best friend than with their SO and one in four acknowledge their BFF knows them better than their BF does. The point? As we get older and life, well… happens, it gets harder to maintain significant friendships. (Which explains why the study says 47 per cent of us wish we could spend more time with our mates.) So, consider this an official reminder to text your bestie. Chances are you’re long overdue for hangs. RELATED: Taking A Girls Trip Is The Best Thing For Your Health, Study Says
