[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find the phrase "marrying my best friend" gag inducing.  It is right there along with "the love of my live" and the "the right one."

Marriage is not a friendship it is a committed relationship which has some elements of friendship, but also elements of intimacy that are well beyond that of a friendship.

I feel sorry for people who think they are married to their best friend.  It sounds a little creepy to me.

I'm sorry that your relationship with your spouse isn't as deep. DH is my best friend and the love of my life. I realize as I get older how rare this truly is, even amongst my friends who are still in love with their spouses. [/quote]

You just made her gag again (me too).[/quote]

Me three.  Why can't people love their spouses and be happy in their marriage.  It is a spouse, not a friend; it is a marriage, not a friendship.  Best friend, love of my life, and similar phrases sound as if they were ripped from the pages of a bodice ripper or a soap opera.   I guess my question is if your marriage ends, did you lose a friend or a spouse.  Did you end a marriage or a friendship.   Marriage is at a higher level than friendship, and if you wish to use cutesy names to describe your marriage, so be it. [/quote]

My spouse is my friend. I'm not getting what is so hard  to understand about that or so offensive?
If our marriage ended for whatever reason I would lose both.

Well, the whole idea that your marriage and your love is better than someone else's is really nauseating.[/quote]

That's your own insecurity and projection talking.  I'm married to my best friend doesn't mean   our love is better.[/quote]

If you are married to your best friend, does that mean you can't have a best friend?[/quote]

I happen to think  you can have more than one best friend.[/b][/quote]

Huh?  don't use the term best friend, as it implies the best, as in better than all of the others.  You can have more than one close friend or good friend.

Actually, I hate the term best friend anyway.  It just sounds juvenile.  [/quote]
