Do you know what couples who are happily married say is the number one reason why? It isn't that they have a lot of money, they live in a big house, have great sex, live far away from their in-laws, have well behaved children, are highly educated, or belong to a country club. So what is the number one reason? A number of surveys have been conducted of couples who are happily married. It does not marry if they are newly weds, midly webs, or oldly weds. Happily married couples all say the same thing.
The number one answer is "my spouse is my best friend." Take a minute and think about that means. What does it take to be a best friend? A best friend is someone you trust, you can tell them anything and everything. A best friend is someone you spend time with. You have fun together. You care for each other, in good times and bad. You work together and have each other's back. Qualities like loyalty, honesty, faithfulness, goodness, helpfulness, also come to mind.
So what comes to your mind when you think about what it means to be a best friend? Now take that and make it happen in your marriage!
