Best friends are awesome! They know you in and out. You’ve shared some of the craziest moments of your life with them. They are the ones you’d do anything for, and they always bring a smile to your face whenever you see them. Sometimes, the level of attachment with such best friends is unexplainable. However, we always have that one opposite sex best friend that we are also slightly attracted to. He happens to be the most compatible of the lot, and probably knows more secrets about you than any of your other best friends. It’s these kinds of best friends that make your boyfriends seem less interesting in front of them. And then one fine day you find yourself questioning whether you should end up marrying your best friend or not. Here are some reasons for you to get convinced that marrying your best friend is indeed a very cool idea.
1. There’s no awkwardness
He has seen you in your best state, as well as your worst state. So, there is no awkwardness in terms of being without makeup in front of him, or wearing baggy and torn clothes as nightwear. He knows what you’re comfortable with, and is well aware of your likes and dislikes. So he won’t judge you or question you, and will accept you just the way you are.
2. Parents are cool with it
Neither do they have to go through the hassle of finding the right partner for you, nor are they worried about their daughter facing issues of settling in and understanding with a new partner. They know that your best friend is someone you have been with for a long time, and they will be happy that you’re spending your life with someone who understands you and knows you in and out. Plus, being best friends, both your parents must have met each other so many times, that there is no awkwardness in welcoming each other officially to the family.
3. There’s always something to do
As friends, you plan a lot of activities together. And as the friendship develops over a period of time, you discover common interests and know what activities entertain the two of you. This is a great benefit when you marry your best friend, because you can continue doing those things together. You don’t have to go through the whole exercise of finding a new person’s interests or tastes after marriage. Instead, you just rediscover yourself with your best friend and keep doing fun things together all the time.
4. He knows your life’s ambitions
He’s been your friend since the time you were in school or college probably. He’s seen you struggling for the first job and borrowing money from friends when you didn’t have enough to pay the next month’s rent. He knows of your past, and is also aware of your future plans and ambitions or goals. And he’s been supportive all through it. So there are no discussions on changing your career path or professional choices once you are married, because he has been there with you since the time you started dreaming about what you want to do in life in general. This kind of understanding is great for one’s individual growth and development professionally.
5. It’s effortlessly comfortable
There is no unnecessary trying to impress each other, and no hiding of feelings because you are shy or hesitant. When you’ve been best friends for a really long time, then you reach a different level of comfort altogether, which is often impossible to achieve with others in your life. There are no fears or insecurities, and that keeps the compatibility intact with the relationship going smoothly forward.
So if you’ve been wondering for sometime now whether your best friend is indeed your soul mate, don’t think twice. They say that friends are the family we choose, then why don’t we choose them as our life partners? It will surely turn out to be a great marriage.
