Tomorrow is Friendship Day, which
we all know very well. The first Sunday of August is celebrated as friendship
in India and other world regions.
Many might have already planned their
day with friends tomorrow.
Youngsters and children will look forward
to tying friendship bands to their friends and exchanging some sweet notes
&chocolates.
Friends are people who know you
and whom you know; you accept each other for who you are and make time for each
other when needed. You may have lots of good friends throughout your life but
will probably have very few lifelong friends. They are a true gift!
Can husband and wife be friends?
About half of married people and
couples living together say their partner is their best friend, with men more
likely to say so than women. Forty-eight percent of married women listed their
spouse as their BF compared with 64% of men in a 2017 study. Couples who are
best friends say they work on it.
The key to developing a solid
friendship with your spouse is spending quality time together. You should
engage in shared interests and talk about important things. Play together and
celebrate each other's uniqueness! Other ways to spend time together include
reading, walking, and sharing hobbies.
Make your spouse feel like a
top priority, Respect each other, Treat one another equally, cheer on each
other's successes, and Lean on one another in times of need. Appreciate your spouse, be
considerate of each other, be forgiving of one another- don't hold grudges.
Building and nurturing the marital
friendship can strengthen a marriage because friendship in marriage is
known to build emotional intimacy. Friendship helps married couples to feel
safe enough to be more open with one another without worrying about being
judged or feeling insecure.
The truth is that couples who
keep their love alive, do so not by relying on the initial romance, important
though that is, but by working on that #BFF thing. A key factor is to continue
connecting together and spending time in each other's company through
activities you both enjoy.
Points to work on:
Communication: Talk and share
about everyday life.
Trust: Be honest and loyal.
Interests: Find common interests. Have fun with
one another. Laugh together and make lasting memories. Do and try new things
together.
Try to draw out one another as you
share together as friends. Attend to the little things that show love and
friendship. Regularly do things that build love and friendship, such as
spending time together, giving gifts, serving one another, offering
encouragement, and being affectionate.
These all should be quite easy because a
husband and wife are lifelong companions who lead a common life; they
are two intimate comrades. The rights and status of each are equal. They should
work together and manage household affairs together if done with friendliness,
it will be amazing.
Being best friends with your
spouse increases some of the well-being benefits that come with marriage, such
as life satisfaction.
What more we can want in our
lives. Happy Friendship Day
