Is marrying your best friend a good option?

I read this topic in one of the sites and my personal opinion is it is definitely good to marry the person that is your best friend. The reason is quite simple. As a best friend, this person will know you in and out. Also, you would have confided on this person whenever you had a need to. You are already set in vibes, frequency and understanding with him. If your best friend is alright with the plan to get married to you and vice versa then I do not see a need that it should not happen.

What is your take on this?

Good and a safe option as you are close to your best-friend and will be knowing him. However, love should bloom before marriage.

Its not that both are good-friends, so lets get married !! There should be reason that u want him or her in ur life.

Yes Mudit. Thats quite obvious. Without love why would anyone marry a person at all :)

Mudit said...

I mean to say that one should not think that he/she is my best-friend, so better than looking for someone else, I will marry him/her because the person cares about me.

The person is ur best-friend but dont know whether he will be a good spouse.

Hey listen I dont quite understand when you say that best friend cannot be a good spouse.

I dont think so. First of all a best friend boils down to a good human being. So he/she is all fit to be a good spouse.

Kya re. mast idea hai. :) Life will be chill. But what would be the difference between a woman who is your "best" friend and a woman who is a best wife? Whats the difference except the social definition of the relationship. But it would certainly be a great option to marry the best friend. I wish I would have one. ;)

well best friend can be your wife if both you guys are interested. then she by default becomes a best wife. :) I am lucky enough to have gotten my husband that way..

abinash said...

Hmm, U are lucky. Thats good. wish u all good time.

Lakshmi said...

Thanks dear and I wish you get one too soon :)

What if your best-friend is of ur own sex ?? Errrrrrrrr.....

" Is marrying your best friend a good option ? "
In the above case,its NO !!

Lakshmi said...

Ha hahaha... errrrr..

mudit: well the option being good or bad depends on what the "subject's" physical orientation is. In few countries its legalized and we can't rule out the possibility of same gender love saying unnatural just because they fall in number to become statistical minorities.
N.B. If one's orientation is straight then its never a good option though provided one is not considering a gender change operation. :D :P

as your title suggests, it is an option, don't know how its gonna behave once we exercise the option. i wont totally come to a conclusion, coz they would know each other so well, they could stil make things work.. but marriage is an entire diff relationship.. it could work out really well as frnds, but as a husband and wife, it may or may not..it may not coz relationship changes, possesiveness gets in, ego clashes etc. it may coz, u know each other so well, both will let go of each others requirement and do what the other person likes... u don't have to tell things to understand.

Hi V,
You have talked about both sides of the coin :) Yeah as I said if mutual consent is there then nothing stops from going ahead.
