THE FIVE FRIENDS YOU NEED TO HAVE (EVEN IF YOU'RE HAPPILY MARRIED)
By Laurie Puhn, J.D.
When you said, "I do," that meant you were done looking for a new best friend, right? Your spouse would forever be your go-to person for advice about work and family. Your mate would share all of your interests, and be happy to listen to whatever is on your mind. If I'm describing your fantasy, I guess you've already figured out the truth: Our spouse cannot and should not satisfy all of our needs. That's where friends come in.
Research shows that a rich life with love, health and happiness is dependent upon having a support network made up of more than our spouse. Life will be more interesting and your marriage will be even better, if you have these five types of friends to rely on too.

𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃 , right? We decided to be best friends forever, but this was a big lie. A 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃 is someone you value above all others in your life, someone you enjoy spending time with, someone you trust and can confide in. ๋࿔‧ ֶָ֢˚˖𐦍˖˚ֶָ֢ ‧࿔ Please do not tell me that everything was a lie. For three years, I have considered him my best friend! Is this some sort of joke for him? Did he feel nothing when he said I was to blame? Like, WOW! He deeply hurt me, and despite everything I have done for him and his safety, doesn't he feel bad about making me unhappy every day? Why did he suddenly go through such drastic changes? Is this all because of me? Did I not show him enough love as the best friend he needed? Was his love for his girlfriend influencing his feelings for his best friend? But whatever the reason, I know one thing for certain: I will never forgive him, and he does not deserve me. ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── Make sure to read the story to discover what happened!

✅ The Enemy's Daughter ♡ Rosé x Fem!Reader
What force sets the confines of a soulmate? Are we limited to find love only in those around us, that share our same beliefs and interests? Or are we destined for more? Perhaps a soulmate is meant to be your opposite; for in their shortcomings and weaknesses lie your greatest strengths. That cataclysmic union is forever joined by a reckoning of its own -- the differences between enemies run deep: their ideals skewed. Put plainly, that type of contrast can only come with consequences. But in the end, after all is said and done, you'll find that it was those moments of pure, unadulterated passion that brought you true purpose in life. Tested beyond belief and pushed to every limit imaginable, you were just that: challenged. Luckily, though, the best kind of love isn't always meant to be easy. For Roseanne Park and Y/N Seok, this discovery hit them in full force, compelling them to face their demons and biases -- together. All they knew is that after they came into each other's lives, neither of them would ever be the same again. --- ⭐ Completed ⭐ ❗Slightly mature themes❗ ❤ 》Enemies To Lovers, Royal AU《 ❤ ⚠️ Reposting, translating, and / or claiming my original work as your own is NOT allowed ⚠️ ☆☆☆☆☆☆ Cool Achievements: 》#1 - roseannepark (2/4/23) 》#3 - YG (8-25-21) 》#2 - blackpinkxreader (5-7-21) 》#4 - parkchaeyoung (6-10-21)Complete![[Completed] Be As One (Sana x Reader)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/220689025-256-k391598.jpg)

Part 2 of The Best Thing I Ever have Marriage starts with love, happiness, sweetness, lustfulness and lots of positive things of each other.... until it is not..... It will turn into pointing fingers... it is yours fault or mine? Or our fault? Or the kids? It must be the work!! Or cheating!?!? What fake and what's true? Blinded by love or love turns to hate? Maybe illness will take them apart.... or they will tear themselves apart before anyone get to them.... NO!! Shouldn't be like this!! Marriage should be about trust, understanding, considerations... The world is already too hard to be in, why not more love? More love to go through ups & downs together, pass all the hurdles and be as one.... "Look, no matter what, stay by my side?" "Babe, you haven't say it for a long time.... say you love me?" "Let's do it again. Be as one.... can we?"Complete
