Care to hear from an old married woman?? First off, it's very healthy to have friends outside of each other. There are times when all you need is each other, and there are times when you need others around you as well. There may be times in your life where you go weeks or even a month or so where all you need is each other (newness of relationship can do this, or a tragedy, or trial in your lives) but in general, I'd say each of us needs times with others as well. Sometimes (for a well rounded relationship and indeed life) this means together with another couple, (or several couples and/or friends) and sometimes this means time each with seperate friends. I have a few friends that are single, that I never want to lose touch with, and it is easier to make that a time when I just go out with them by myself, because sometimes I get the feeling that if Papabean is with me, they feel like a third wheel even though I would never want them to feel this way!!! (and neither does Papabean!!!) Also, I love to bowl (not good at it, just enjoy it!) so I am on a woman's bowling league on Tuesday nights...obviously Papabean doesn't join me for that!!
.........hmmmm thinking on this has been good...Looking at my post, I see I can't really say Papabean does alot with friends without me.....maybe I should ask him how he feels about this..?? He is my rock, I always say I thank God for him, and I thank him for my relationship with God, cuz he is the one who really helped me strenghten that connection with our Savior. I love him with everything I have, I'd best talk to him and make sure he has any time he needs to see his friends........
