It’s hard being single in a culture that values romantic love as the highest form of love. Gay, straight and everything in between all seem to think a spouse will satisfy them in ways friends can’t. So friendship loses its true value and with it, all it’s wonderful benefits

I think i can be single and still say that if you aren’t a great friend, you aren’t going to make a great spouse or significant other. Marriage is about sacrifice, putting the other before yourself, constant communication and pursuing intimacy

But what friendship truly works without sacrifice? Or without communication? How can you be friends with someone you aren’t intimate with? Or how well does a friendship work if someone is selfish? The answer is it doesn’t. Marriage and friendship need the same thing

I think people don’t value friendship because they’ve honestly never had a true friend. That’s how they don’t know if their spouse will make a good friend cause they’ve never had one. Your friends have just been purgatories while you wait for the paradise of marriage

I don’t know if I’ll ever be married. But i know this: I’ll feel horrible alone and like a failure if i die without true lifelong friends than if i die single. I believe friendships can be just as life giving and lifelong as marriage. I just wish others felt that way too.
