    To me, it depends on just how close the friend is, but then again, I do believe that it takes a lot about being a true friend to being a very good lover/marraige partner. As for me, I wouldn't want to get hitched to someone I just met the previous night. Nothing would do me good than being with someone who knows me even more than myself.

      Philip you are right. I agree it takes time and energy to nurture a true friendship. It sounds like you're saying that one can be a good lover/marriage partner but not necessarily a best friend.

        No, I do believe that one can try and be both at the same time, depending on how things become with both people. After all, a husband is more or less a best friend to his wife and vice versa.

          You said that right, "one can try". Do you think that the stress of trying to maintain a marriage and all it entails can actually get in the way of becoming true friends? So Philip, you say "you would not want to get hitched to the person you met lastnight", what would you say is a suitable timeframe for two people to get to know each other and become friends before they start talking about marriage?

          I agree husbands and wives should be best friends unless it is just a business arrangement or something like that where friendship is not required.

            There's always going to be stress in marraiges just as there certainly is in relationships. Imagine two people from different backgrounds coming to live together under one roof - it's never going to be an easy feat. Though I do believe that as long as there's an agreeable point for them to lay their cards open on the table, and that neither person comes to the table with his/her pride in hand, then things might as well work along just fine.

            I can't put my finger on a timeframe limit, because sometimes things do happen out of random. I've known folks who just one meeting was all it took for them to be by each other's side, and also others who've taken more than a year and still couldn't figure out what either one wants. I guess it comes down to how open each fellow is ready to be with the other.
