So, what are these reasons to marry your best friend?

1. You’ll be free with them

it is obvious to tell your best friend everything. It is also common to always feel free around your best friend. Wouldn’t that be the best feeling ever in your marriage?

Having a partner whom you can trust and tell everything is amazing. There are couples that find it hard to share information. This could be a case of mistrust or they just don’t feel free with each other.

There are topics that can be hard to share with your lover. Maybe because you fear they can get mad or judge you. Somehow, such dirty talks are not hard to talk with someone that you are free with.

2. Besties know you in and out

Best friends know each other deeply. They share everything that they become like siblings. Having someone that you know in and out for the rest of your life is everyone’s dream.

This could range from best moments, likes, dislikes, best food, how they act when mad, their dream careers et cetra, et cetra.

There is that game that is mostly played at weddings where the bride and the bridegroom are asked questions to gauge how much they know each other. Besties would automatically nail and ace on this one, don’t you think so?

Knowing how to handle someone’s mood swings or knowing how they react on certain matters is also essential.

3. Lots of memories

What is life without memories. Having memories as a couple is unarguably the best thing ever. Having a park that reminds you of something, or a restaurant where you had your first date, maybe the street where you met and so on. Those memories create a strong connection between lovers.

Best friends who have stayed together for longer years obviously have more memories. They have so many memories that they could easily forget some. They could pop up once in a while when a conversation that reminds them of the memories comes along.

When you marry someone whom you hold a million memories with, life will automatically be fun. And in most cases, this type of couple hardly break up because they have a whole line of history together.

4. Matching vibes

You have obviously met people who don’t match at all. Maybe one of them is talkative than the other, or the one of them is religious and the other a total pagan. It happens. These couples exist.

Spending the rest of your life with someone whom your vibes match is heavenly. You can share relatable stories and laugh together in happiness.

Best friends are a bundle of joy. They make life sweet and make the moments worth living.

Chosing a lifetime partner is one of the riskiest decision on earth. This is someone you are going to spend the rest of your life with. So, you have to be as sober as a judge and make the most appropriate decision.

Most people chose partners based on the wrong things such as physical appearance and that’s where they miss the shot.

When choosing a partner, look beyond their physical appearance, like the wise ones say, there is more than what meets the eye.
