While the idea of marriage mostly brings us the idea of having a long term partner and family, we often do not think of marrying someone in a way that we relate it to having friends. In fact, when people get married, the first thing that we would conceive about it is all about how to strengthen couple relationships or building a family. Yet, in actual life, making marriages strong and making them last can also be attributed to the fact that married couples are not separate from other people. Once we get married, we do not and should not isolate ourselves from other people. In fact, when we get married, we have all the more reason to go out, as well as to make individual and couple friends.
Being part of a marriage means that we are now part of a new unit of society. This means that we now have the responsibility to form a family of our own and establish our own roles in the community and in society. With these facts, we must also be aware that we can strengthen ourselves for this role if we continue interaction and relationships with other people outside the family. Getting married should not stop us from making new friends and acquaintances.
