Should Your Spouse Be Your Best Friend?

And that may be the point: Calling the person you’re married to your best friend may be shorthand for saying that you actually like your spouse and that you have shared history, shared lives and shared dreams. But in the end, the expression doesn’t do justice to the full meaning of marriage or to the full meaning of friendship. After all, if your spouse is your best friend, then whom do you complain to your spouse about?

This is easier to answer than one might think: I bitch about my spouse to my spouse, and he bitches about me to me. Strangely (or not) this probably works better than if we just went to other people to complain. Also, my friends and family know that my spouse is a better person than I am, so if I did bitch about him to them, they would judge me harshly.

I think the answer is to find some friends who don't know your spouse, Marion. :)
