It sounds like a dumb question, but on another forum (made up of mostly women) the subject came up. I was shocked that several of the women said their husband is their husband, not their friend. They didn't enjoy going out and doing fun things with their husbands like they do with their friends. I found that odd, because my husband is my best friend and we have so much fun together. If he wasn't, why would I want to be with him?

What about the rest of you? Am I in the minority?

My husband is my friend. I can't imagine being married to someone I didn't enjoy hanging out with.

I would want any man I married to be my friend.

If I were hypothetically married, a wife would be much more than just a friend to me...she would be family (non-blood related, of course)

My ex-husband and I were not friends. I don't know if us being friends would have saved the marriage, but I'm thinking not. I would like to be friends if I ever get married again, but not TOO close.

My wife and I are best friends first, lovers and spouses second and third.

Even my ex and I were friends. But that's all we were, and not best friends at that.

Is your spouse your friend?

He wasn't my spouse, but my SO. And he was my friend.

Absolutely. We were friends before anything else. We still are, and I think that is what keeps our marriage strong. I can't really understand why someone would want to be married to someone they didn't see as their friend. It doesn't mean that you have to do everything with them, and treat them like the other friends in your life. My husband isn't in the same category that they are in, but he is still my friend.

Ok, so jokes aside.

My "friend", shall we say, will get A LOT of male attention.

You're the only woman around.

Like that? lol

Good! HaHaHa
