30. If you marry your best friend, they will remember what foods you hate
One of the benefits of marrying your best friend is that you always remember what foods you like and what foods you cannot bear. They won’t order a vegetarian pizza with green olives because they know you don’t like them. On the flip side, they’ll also remember your favorite foods so you can always count on them to ask for an extra side of pickles with your burger and fries.
29. They remember the things you have allergies to
The best part is that you will always remember what you are allergic to and you can rely on them to ensure that you avoid contact with as many allergens as possible. If they can’t help you avoid an allergen, like pollen, they will do everything they can to make you feel better.
28. They know what you are thinking without you having to say anything
Marrying your best friend will ensure that they always understand what you are trying to say, without actually having to say it. This could be understanding a certain look from across the room, or even guessing a movie title with a simple wave of the hand. One thing’s for sure, you two probably rock into charades!
27. You can remember the “good morning” together.
Sometimes marrying your best friend means that the two of you have been together for a long time. Some might think that means things get boring, but the two of you will disagree. Knowing each other for a long period of time just means that you have created more memories together. They will be able to look back and laugh at each other.
26. They can be rude in front of each other
Do you remember that book, Everyone Poops? Well, they are not wrong! One benefit of marrying your best friend is that you can be rude in front of each other and not have to be ashamed of it. Instead of feeling embarrassed by that fart that you’ve been trying to put up with until you left the room, the two of you can laugh. Sure, everyone has their limits, but as best friends, both of you will know what those limits are.
25. Allow you to vent when you need to complain
Every once in a while, you have a rough day that requires large amounts of wine and a ventilation session. If you marry your best friend, make sure you always have someone to listen to you for twenty minutes about that coworker from hell. They won’t even have to say anything because they know you just need to get everything out of your system.
24. You will always have someone to make you laugh
When you end up delirious like crazy, your best friend will be there to make you laugh. Before you know it, you will have forgotten whatever was bothering you in the first place and you can relax with your partner.
23. When you marry your best friend, you always find ways to have fun
You are expected to have fun together when you are married to your best friend. The two of you might be stranded on the side of the road in the pouring rain, but they’ll find a way to make it fun. When most people would be miserable, the two of you make the most of a less than desirable situation and jump in puddles or dance in the rain.
22. You don’t mind spending a weekend at home because you are together
After a long week, sometimes you just want to spend the weekend at home. Your best friend doesn’t mind staying for the weekend and relaxing together. As a bonus, your partner probably won’t mind if you spend the weekend without makeup and in your pajamas while the two of you are together.
21. Relieve your anxiety
Many people deal with anxiety, but not everyone has someone in their life who can help them manage it. When you marry your best friend, they will understand what your anxiety entails and will know how to help you overcome it. Just knowing that you have someone to help you get through it can ease that burden.
20. They are comfortable with each other
Even married people are not 100% comfortable with their partner at all times, but if you marry someone who is your best friend, it is more likely that you are. Don’t take that relationship lightly, because life is so much easier when you can be yourself.
19. Marry your best friend because they won’t care if you gain weight
It is said that people often let go when they get married. Whether that’s true or not, your partner won’t care how you look because they love you for you.
18. But if you get fat, they will probably get fat with you
Just like they love everything about you, you feel exactly the same way. So if both of you start gaining weight, neither of you is going to let go of the other. However, you can always count on each other to be the motivator for the other, so if one of you decides it’s time to get in shape, they will be with you every step of the way.
17. They will do little random things to surprise you
Your best friend loves to see you smile, so don’t be surprised when you are surprised in any way. Surprising you at work with your favorite restaurant lunch or tickets to your favorite band are worth it to them, as long as you are happy.
16. Your best friend will take care of you when you are sick
A best friend doesn’t take his duties lightly when he’s sick. They go above and beyond to help you get back on your feet again. Whether you go to the pharmacy to buy cold medicine or make chicken noodle soup, they will be by your side until you are back to normal.
15. They will encourage you to try new things
People get caught up in a rut from time to time. We like things that are familiar to us and when it comes to getting out of our comfort zone, we can hesitate a bit. Marry your best friend and you can guarantee that they will be there to encourage you to try the things that scare you. No matter how daunting the activity may seem, you can trust them to help you get through it.
14. They are taken lightly when you say you need alone time.
Your best friend understands when you need time to decompress. You don’t have to worry about offending them or making them feel insecure when you say you want to take time for yourself. They will always be there when they are ready to spend all of their time together again.
13. They will not lie to you to forgive your feelings
People tend to leave out things that they feel might hurt their partner’s feelings. Marry your best friend and you won’t have to worry about things being hidden from you. They will do their best to get the news out as smoothly as possible, but they understand that you have a right to know what’s going on and they don’t want you to be left out.
12. You don’t have to worry about feeling judged for your decisions
Your best friend won’t make you feel bad for thinking or doing something you don’t agree with. Even if you don’t see each other face to face, they will support you no matter what.
11. You share friends
When you marry someone who is your best friend, you often have the same friends. This is great because everyone gets along and you don’t have to worry about how two groups of friends will bond with each other. Your best friend also understands wanting to spend time with your friends, without them and vice versa. They will always encourage girls time!
10. They strive to be part of your family.
These days, relationships can be tricky because your partner doesn’t like spending time with your family, or they don’t even like it at all. Your best friend will make sure they spend as much time with your family as possible (no matter how strange they may be) because they think of them as an extension of you. Also, how could they see all those embarrassing baby photos?
9. They will defend you when they treat you unfairly
Your best friend’s goal is to protect you, so if someone treats you cruelly, your best friend will now handle it lightly. They will have no problem defending you or your rights. Marry your best friend and you will always have someone in your corner, ready to fight when needed.
8. Your best friend understands you
When people get married, it usually means that they understand their partner on a deeper level and have taken the time to get to know them. If you marry your best friend, both of you have a deep understanding of how the other person lives. They understand the wants, needs and desires of the other. You also understand why they behave the way they do. If you marry your best friend, they will give you the luxury of knowing when you need time to do the things you enjoy, like reading or taking a bubble bath.
7. They give the best advice.
Because your best friend knows you so well, he can offer you the best advice. Any suggestions they have will be tailored to what they know about you. If they know you’re not an outgoing person, they’ll help you figure out how to handle the wedding party dance your cousin threw at you at the last minute.
6. They can sit quietly with each other and just be
One of the most pleasant feelings in the world is being able to sit quietly with another human being and not feel like you need to fill the silence. Best friends are comfortable relaxing with each other and don’t try to fill the silence with awkward little conversations.
5. They won’t get jealous when you talk to other people
Your best friend trusts that you won’t cheat on them, so they won’t get jealous when you talk to other people. You never have to prepare for an impending argument with your partner because they know they have no reason to worry.
4. They will be there for you in your time of crisis.
Life has a way of hitting curveballs our way when we least expect it. When that happens, we need someone on our side to help us navigate the mess and get our lives back. Your best friend will be that person for you. They will be there to pick you up when you drop, no matter how many times it happens.
3. They will be your biggest cheerleader
Your best friend will be your biggest support and you can always trust them to give you a motivational talk or speech. They will be there for all your big events, offering words of encouragement. When you achieve great things, they will be the first to offer you a pat on the back.
2. They make you a priority
Your best friend will support you at all times and will be there for you without hesitation. They prioritize your needs with theirs and consider you a teammate, so you never have to worry about feeling taken for granted.
1. They trust each other
Trusting each other in a marriage is key. Without confidence, what do you really have? By pledging your love to your best friend, you both commit to a life of complete trust and security. Neither of you will be willing to jeopardize the wonderful relationship you have together.
Marrying your best friend is the way to go
While marrying your best friend will guarantee total happiness, it should not be taken lightly. Marriage is still a commitment and hard work. That said, the best part about marrying your best friend is that you both love and respect each other enough to put forth the effort necessary for your marriage to be successful.
