Having a best friend means a lot to many people. It means having someone you can count on and a person who you can really share things with. A best friend can be a person's spouse or partner, a girl friend or a guy friend. I think that it is important to have good close friends. What is your best friend like? Do you spend time together often?

My bestfriend is my soulmate, my husband. He brought out the best in me. He is my number one fan. He believed in me more than I believed in myself. He made me a better person, a person I learned to like and respect. More than our love and attraction to each other, its the friendship that I know will last forever. I could just imagine the two of us at 60 years old, sipping coffee and reminiscing our past as lovers and friends, at the balcony of our home.

I'm glad that your best friend is your husband. That is the why it should be between a husband and a wife. It important for them to have that very strong bond and connection. A husband and wife should be very close to one another in their love and respect towards each other. I'm glad that you can envision your life together sixty years from now.

That is a good thing. I agree with you marriage should last a lifetime. I think though that many individuals who get married can see themselves with that person when they are older. Unfortunately as each individual gets a little older their thoughts and views on things change. Which lead a lot of marriages to divorce. It is important that we keep our spouse as our closest friend. That will help to keep the relationship strong.

I wouldn't have married him if I could not imagine myself with him for that long a time. Marriage should last for a lifetime.

I would say I have two best friends. One is my boyfriend. He is amazing and wonderful. I can talk to him about anything and share my fears with him. My best friend is like my sister. She has been there for me through everything and I've been there for her. We know we will be there for each other.

I'm glad that your boyfriend is a wonderful person. That makes a relationship so awesome. It is so nice to be able to talk with someone we are with about any thing that may be going on with us. And when they listen and sincerely show that they are interested it draws the relationship closer. I'm glad that girl best friend is a great person as well. And that you both continue to be there for one another.

Me and my best friend have been best friends for 10 years and we still see each other and communicate with each other. Even though there are month we don't talk in FB or text each other, we still hang out every once in a while. We still talk even once in a few months. We also update each to what's new to me and to her.

I'm glad that your girl is your best friend. It is nice when we spend a lot of time with the person that we care deeply for. I'm happy that you are able to spend so much time with her. A lot of the time work and other things can keep couples apart. It's a good thing to feel comfortable with the person we are with. They really do become our family.

when i see your topic, it reminds me to think about whether i have a best friend or not, and the answer is i don't know. i do have several good friends, but i can't choose one of them to be my best one. everyone is special. although we seldom be together, but we always communicate with each other by phone calls or emails.

I'm glad that you have several friends and that all of them are special. Life really can be so busy for everyone. I know that my husband is very important to me. I'm trying however to find a friend that is truly a best friend for me and vice versa. I know that I will be able to find one. I have a lot of friends. But I know that there are many individuals who are really best friends. Who spend time together no matter what their schedule may be like, no matter how many children they have, or how many responsibilities they gain as they go through life.I really would like to have a friend like that. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me.

Hi Dominique.. First time I read your discussion I think almost hard and ask to myself whether I have a best friend or not. I am married and I don't have good social life in my neighborhood. My friends are those work at the same place with me, but I don't think that I have best friend. I have some good friends but I don't think that I have best one. I had best friends when I was at school and college, but after I got married I prefer my husband to be my best friend than others. I can share everything with him and the bad side of me is still kept inside me. I mean if I share the bad side of me to others, I'm afraid that they will tell it to others someday. So I like to share everything with him. My mother is also my best friend. But because I live away from her, I seldom talks with her about my daily life. I call her when there's something urgent or just say 'hi'..

I'm glad that you prefer your husband to be your best friend. That a good thing. It is wonderful for our husband to be our best friend. It really does strengthen the relationship we have with them and we are able to continue to draw closer. I'm glad as well that you have a close relationship with your mother. That is so very important as well.

I'm glad to hear that your best friend is your girlfriend. When our partner is our best friend it does make our life so much better. We are able to share our life with them and share our life and the things that happen in it with them. To share interests and hobbies with them makes a strong connection. I understand how time and each person living different lives. That is how I'm with my friends that I was really close to when I was in high school. But when we get together it's like no time has gone by and we have a great time.

I'm glad that you have such good friends. Having good friends really does make a difference in our life. It is so much better to have friends that are considerate and kind than those who try to take advantage of us. I'm also happy that you spend quit a bit of time with them. I'm hoping that soon I will be able to arrange to do somethings with my friends.

I agree with you. That is really how true friends should be. They are there for when we need them and vice versa. And neither do we or they expect anything in return. It is such a wonderful thing to be able to have friends like that. It makes like so much more joyful. I'm appreciative of the great friends I have.

When I was in grade school, I had one best friend. We were inseparable and every year we went through great lenght to make sure we'll be in the same class together. Until now, some 40 years later, we still keep in touch and get together whenever we have the rare chance since I've been moving overseas many years ago. However, my life these days are most centralized to my family. My spouse and kids are the ones who matter most to me; so I focus my love, time & energy most for them.

That is so wonderful. I'm so glad that you both keep in contact throughout all those years. It is so nice to have wonderful friendships like you two have. Yes and I understand how important your family is to you. Spending time with them and taking care of them requires a lot of our time and attention. There just isn't enough time to do everything that we would like to do. So we have to prioritize our time. Thanks so much for sharing with me.

I don't really have a 'best friend' or favourite as such. I have a few close friends, very few, my family and my man. They are all my best friends in a sense. I have a different relationship with each and every one and they all mean the world to me in their own way.

I'm glad that you have your family and your man. Even if you only have a few friends I'm sure that your family and man care and take care of you like you want. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me. I appreciate it.
