Do best friends or even close friends make the best partners for life ??

We aspire to develop that connection at multiple levels with the one we want to spend our lives with. Friendship gives to quite an extent the room for that conection to develop ...

...then ...

would you consider a friend for a choice of partner over someone who wasnt a friend or was a stranger to begin with ???

The thing is, at least for me, I don't do that cuz I'd rather have a friend for a zillion years than a lover for a short time...so many times we make that mistake, but in order to be great partners we have to be great friends...

I would like my lover to become my best friend...but best friends to start..no...personally my BF and I have a connection that is deeper beyond any physical connection and both share a communication and silence between us that requires our own journeys if that makes sense Riya...We could be apart for a few years and feel stronger about each other in our presence..I believe a relationship love requires tending to...

thumbs up

Thats so true Zarah .. it needs sooo much more patience to let the other person travel the journey at his pace .....

I would give all for a relationship with just as much depth in it as love and passion to keep the two people together even if they are at the verge of war with each other every single day ... the basic feeling of unconditional love and an unspoken understanding of emotions ...

Pure bliss !!

I definately think that a life partner also has to be your best friend. He has to be the one you turn to for guidance, support and friendship. JMO wave
