Reasons Why A Woman Should Keep Up Her Friendships After Marriage

Posted on January 12, 2009 in Marriage Advice, Tips for A Wife

A woman when betrothed to the love of her life, most often tends to forget her friends and near ones. The bond she shares with her friends slowly gets severed with the increased attachment she finds in the man of her life. The initial excitement of falling in love with someone can be very heady and tends to overwhelm and engulf a woman’s life completely. However, as time passes and the magic of love wears off, a woman seeks consolation in her girlfriends. It is therefore very important to keep up relationships with old friends. Here are some reasons why women should keep up with friends.

1)    Sharing: The man you love may not be there always to share your woes and cries whereas girlfriends are always ready with a lending ear and a sympathetic nod.

2)    Caring: The man of your life may care for you in ways you may not understand whereas women will care and nurture you in a way that you feel loved and wanted. So much so, you may wonder why your man was not created with the same tenderness as your girlfriends.

3)    Understanding: Your husband may sometimes refuse to understand you and think you are overreacting or underplaying emotions. Your girlfriends on the other hand understand you just the way you are. They understand what you are going through when your favorite cups break, when you find a white hair on your head and the joy you feel at seeing a beautiful designer wear.

4)    Mood swings: Your girlfriends stand a better chance at understanding why you are cranky and depressed one day and why you are so joyous and full of energy the other day. They also know what pain you go through when you are chumming and they know how to deal with you at these times. Men on the other tend to get confused with your behavior and wonder why women keep changing all the time.

5)    Listen: Unlike men, your girlfriends will always look at you and not the T.V. when you are talking. They also empathize with you and make you feel worthy after all the turmoil you have gone through. Your husband on the other hand find you to be a complain box when you share your problems with them.

6)    Relief: Sharing all your joys and sorrows with your girlfriend’s helps you sail through successfully through all the ups and downs of marriage.

7)    Shopping: unlike your husbands who hate to shop, women will never find it a bore to shop. They will wait patiently and accompany you through hours of shopping, walking in through every store you want to shop in for.

Friendship is a beautiful relationship and should be never give it away for any other relationship. A true Friend always stands by you in times of trouble.
