Whenever we spend time with some good friends, it’s not a difficult thing, it’s not hard work, it’s a joy and a pleasure. We look forward to spending time with good friends. Why would we not want that with our spouse? Too many people today place way too much emphasis on the romantic side rather than the friendship side. They’ll post about this romantic dinner and that romantic getaway and completely overlook the importance of friendship. Great friendship leads to great romance…start with friendship.
