5 Reasons Why You should not Marry Your Best Friend
4. Sex is awkward
Sex often changes a lot of things between two people. You are your usual casual self with your best friend, and then one fine day, you get married and want to have sex. That brings in weird body issues, affects the sex position politics, and brings in too many awkward moments to handle. Why face such awkwardness for the rest of your life when you can actually build things fresh and enjoy them blissfully with a new person?
5. You will lose a shoulder to cry on
What we often forget is that marriages bring problems. And when we face those problems with a partner, we run to our best friend for advice. But when we face those problems with our best friend as our partner, then we don’t really have anyone to run to. So we end up losing that only shoulder to lean on. We expect our partner to be more understanding, but forget the fact that he was probably always like this, and we never judged them properly because there were never too many complicated challenges during the friendship phase to deal with.
Before you end up cursing yourself for marrying your best friend, think over it again and again. Take time to figure out your exact feelings for that person. Just because you are compatible with a person doesn’t mean that love will build on its own. Sometimes love overpowers incompatibility issues too and is required to sustain a marriage. If you marry your best friend, then chances are that you will experience a lack of romance and will probably never be able to mature romantically or otherwise in the relationship. Life is not just about sharing joy, but also about sharing sadness and taking equal responsibility during tough times. See if your best friend can be a good partner, and only then should you take the leap. Otherwise, it may be the biggest compromise you will end up making.
