Good Lovers, Better Friends.

In my initial post I eluded to the fact that my wife is my BEST friend. The reason this is emphasized so much is because she's the first woman to hold that title. Ironic that the woman I chose to marry is also the person I can talk to about any, and everything. In the past I never really held any of the women I've dated in such high regard. They were GIRLfriends, and because of this I always kept them at a little bit of a distance when it came to certain things. I now know that establishing a strong friendship/companionship bond with your significant other is probably the most important thing you can have. You're not always going to have sex. You're not always going to have media distraction. You're not always going to have your boys. What happens if the power goes out? You just have sex until the power company sorts everything out? What happens if a child enters the picture? You slowly gravitate away from one another? Alot of people try to be very business-like about there relationships; But I believe that's wrong. Relationships aren't businesses. Marriages aren't contracts. They're bonds, and they only last if you're honest with yourself, and with each other. Honesty is not just simply telling the truth. It's acting out the truth. It's showing your true feelings. It's responding with true emotion. And once you establish this standard of honesty verbally, and physically your significant other becomes your best friend. I always thought this would be a bad thing. If we became friends it would destroy our intimacy. This couldn't be further from the truth. She already Chose you. If you were destined to be in the friend zone you'd already be there. The rest is up to you. Are YOU mature enough to handle the Dynamics involved in a relationship? Well...Are you?
