Marrying your best friend eliminates the risk of divorce by over 70%, and this marriage is more likely to last a lifetime.

Marriage & Friendship

The above statistic/psychobabble was from Facebook. 🙂

Apparently, if you are too scared to get married because you are too afraid to end up in a divorce, messy or otherwise, marrying a best friend or friend has a guaranteed probability of successful marriage by 70 percent.

I supposed a friend, is someone who understands and accepts you for who and what you are.  He/she knows your quirks and idiosyncrasies from way back as friends.  Shared secrets, shared hopes and dreams are a pretty powerful force that binds you together.  Someone, who would cover your back no matter what is something that you would yearn for in times of great need.  Being married to one is so lucky!

In an interview with Blake Lively, this is what she had to say about her husband, Ryan Reynolds:

He is my friend first.  I think that’s the secret to happiness.
