The strongest romantic relationships are often built on a foundation of friendship. Here’s why friendship matters in romance and how you can nurture it.
Be Each Other’s Confidante: A friend is someone you can trust and share your thoughts with, so create space to share your feelings and experiences.
Celebrate Each Other’s Wins: Show genuine excitement for your partner’s achievements, just like you would for a close friend.
Have Shared Interests: Find something you both enjoy doing together, whether it’s a hobby, a TV show, or a regular activity.
Be Playful Together: Don’t be afraid to laugh, joke, and be silly with each other—just like friends do.
Respect Each Other’s Individuality: A good friend respects who you are. Embrace each other’s uniqueness.
Friendship strengthens the romantic bond. Being friends first makes a relationship richer and more resilient.
