I think that when friends get into relationships and have children, they are in a new chapter in their lives. In this new chapter comes more and bigger responsibilities. Keeping in contact becomes more difficult due to time constraints. However, I think that with "true friends" you can go months without talking to them, but can pick up where you left off the next time you talk with them.

I don't want to think of it as losing track. We move on, yes. But not really lose track. We spend lesser time together because our priorities change once we get married and have children. But I think with true friendship it even contributes to deepening the bond that you have with friends. You learn more about life and discover things with each other, maybe not physically together but in spirit you remain friends despite time and distance constraints. You have more to talk about and share more things about life than you did when you were younger. I believe true friendship grows stronger with time when nourished properly.

Your life moves on and inevitably your priorities change

Not really. You wont lose track of your friends but you'll have minimum time spending it with your friends as you concentrate more on your family. When you were still single...after school or work...you spend time with your friends. Once you get married and have family...you go straight home to your family.

When a person gets married and have a family on his own, they usually put their whole time and attention to their family. They even lose their self just for their family, like for example, they are working hard so that they can give the needs of their family. Friends and friendship is always there. But sometimes when you get married and have a family. You rarely see on each other because both you and your friends are busy. But true friends are always there, not matter what, even if you are married and far from them.
