This is how some of you see the world 😂
Y’all are far too pathetic and miserable to really understand what goes into making a marriage successful. Happy couples should keep it to themselves because you guys will find a fault in everything they do.
“Marry your best friend” is one of the most romanticized things the internet ever sold people 😭. Married your best friend but you're putting divorce lawyer on speed dial after few months 😂.
Friendship is important in marriage, yes; but your wife is not just your buddy. Your best friend might let things slide, laugh things off, or tolerate your nonsense for peace. Your wife won’t. She will challenge you, hold you accountable, demand growth, emotional presence, consistency, and intentional love.
That’s because marriage is deeper than friendship. It’s responsibility, partnership, sacrifice, and commitment.
The moment you reduce your wife to “my guy” energy, she can start feeling emotionally neglected while still being physically present in the marriage.
Your wife isn’t your homeboy with benefits. Love her deeply, but respect the role differently too.
