Don't Expect Him to Relate to You Like Your Best Girlfriends

  • Your friendship with your man can, and should, grow and mature to a place of deep love and companionship.
  • However, it will not be like your friendships with your girlfriends. It will be different in virtually every way.
  • Remember that we have talked in several episodes about the fundamental difference between men and women. Friendships are another area where men and women differ.
  • Generally speaking, men develop friendships through shared activity. They relate to one another and get to know one another by doing things together.
  • Women, generally speaking, get to know one another by sharing their feelings and thoughts.
  • Men share activities initially to develop relationships and may share words later on.
  • Women share their words to develop relationships from the start.
  • Can men and women become Best Friends? Not without a great deal of give & take on both parts.
  • What are women looking for in a Best Friend?
  • What are men looking for in a Best Friend?
  • I don’t think of my wife as my Best Friend. Our relationship is much, much more than a Best Friend.
  • My Best Friends, over the years, have changed from season to season. My wife has not.
  • It takes significantly longer to develop intimacy with a spouse than with a friend because the nature of the intimacy you are creating is very different. Also, the challenges the relationship faces are significantly different.
