Is it good to marry your best friend? Read here

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.

People tend to get a little uncomfortable with the “marry your best friend” narrative. Much like the classic soul mate quandary, people wonder whether it’s really healthy or even possible for your spouse to be your best friend.

Reasons Why You Should Marry Your Best Friend : 

You Know Each Other In and Out

You both know each other so well, that by looking at each other’s faces, you can tell what the other person may be thinking. You are aware of each other’s likes and dislikes, more than your own; for example, favorite movies, music, sports, drinks etc. Therefore, the getting-to-know-each-other phase will be skipped, and you won’t have to take efforts to know each other. But there will be no hidden surprises and disappointments, which may happen if you marry someone who you don’t know that well.

You will always have fun
One of the best reasons why the person you marry should be your best friend is because as humans, we need fun and excitement. We need adventure, we need to stimulate our senses and get excited about things.

He/she knows about your past
This is the obvious benefit of marrying your best friend. Your best friend knows you inside out and same goes for you. He/she knows all about your past relationships and is more liable to understand your feelings.

They know you better than you know yourself
To me, one of the biggest reasons why the person you marry should be your best friend is because only your best friend knows in in a way no one else does. You already know each other’s favourite movies, music and drinks.
