\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

My Husband is my best friend.<\/p>\n

He was one of my best friends before we started dating. And he still is. We share everything.<\/em> Talk about everything<\/em>. Share the same interests.<\/p>\n

While I am SO thankful for the relationship we have and all of the fun times we share,\u00a0there are a few reasons why it\u2019s hard to be married to your best friend.<\/p>\n

1.) It\u2019s hard to spend time alone<\/strong>. We\u2019re parents. So we have a mini version of ourselves who follows us around everywhere. We\u2019re also a homeschooling family, so he is ALWAYS with us. That makes spending time with just the 2 of us a rarity. It does however, make our alone time and date nights that more precious. Because we\u2019re with the person we love the most, as well as our closest friend.<\/p>\n

\"us\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2.) People think it\u2019s weird<\/strong>. They look at us strangely because we tell each other EVERYTHING. We can spend hours talking and still share the same silly inside jokes we did as teenagers. I\u2019ve read articles saying you shouldn\u2019t be married to your best friend- but I think that\u2019s crazy! I love it, and I wouldn\u2019t want it any other way. No 2 marriages are the same, and what works best for us might not work for you.\u00a0But, this works for us.<\/em><\/p>\n

3.)\u00a0 We have silly arguments<\/strong>. You know those little tiffs you get into with your friends? Those annoying habits that tick you off? Well, when you\u2019re married to your best friend- you can\u2019t complain to them about THEM. So sometimes we get into silly fights. But, it\u2019s okay. We make up. Just like friends do.<\/p>\n

So, yes, sometimes it\u2019s difficult dealing with the fact that I live with my best friend in the whole world. That sometimes we annoy each other and can\u2019t get away from one another. But, it\u2019s also the greatest thing ever because I am doing life- the big things, the mundane things, the hard things, with my closest, most trusted confidante.<\/p>\n

Do you think it\u2019s a good thing to be married to your best friend? Why or why not?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
