Ok, so every once in a while I start thinking about old friends. Then, I think how did I lose contact with those friends. For some, it was just that our lives went different ways. For others, it was a cross-country move. For the focus today, it was marriage.
Have you ever thought about when you first started dating "The One"? You probably were like me and didn't double-date too often. As a matter of fact, most of my friends were not dating at the time. So, you drew closer to your future spouse and further from your friends. I forgot about my friends. Sure, I still said Hi when I saw them out. I never made special occasion to call any of them or hang out. What a mistake? Does everyone make that same one?
I miss certain people I hung out with before I got on the serious dating scene. I have made new friends since dating and marriage. They are great friends and best of all, most of the time, they are friends we as a couple can enjoy together...married friends.
However, there are some people I became friends with after I was married but they were not. Now, they are in the serious dating stage or married and they are going through the same things I did in that era. Try to remember friends are very important. Best of all, if they are real friends, they'll still be there when you decide you want to talk again. Trust me, you'll get there. Having your husband or wife to talk to is great, and family too, but it's always nice to know there's someone else that can relate.
