More Room for Another Main Course?
by People usually would distance or do not keep in touch with good friend(s) they once have.
Most people normally order one main course when they are at the restaurant. Appetizers and deserts are optional. A person is only allowed to love a wife or a husband. Is a person naturally designed, like a piece of machinery, to love just one person? Surely, you can only love one person romantically and that person is your spouse. But what about loving another opposite sex as a very close friend? Is this an appropriate act?
A friend of mine always said, “A man or a woman can never be a good friend to an opposite sex without sexually involved.” I partly agree with that statement. Have you ever felt like talking to someone beside your partner (spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend)? I have. There are certain subjects that you would feel more comfortable talking to a close friend; and there are things that you would want to chat with your brother or sister. People do need close friends and they need social activities with other people.
Beside family members and spouse, I believe a person is capable to love more than just one person in his/her lifetime. However, the subject is off limit to talk about. According to the society, there are certain behaviors that are inappropriate for us to do. I don’t know if any of you out there has witnessed married couples frequently argued on the subject of “Why don’t you want to talk to me? I am your spouse!”, and “You can not have a best friend when you are married.” Are these two quotes sound familiar to you?
A “happy” couple means each partner must not have good friends after getting married? In addition, whatever happens, each partner can only talk to his/her spouse and no one else? A husband supposed to ask for permission from his wife for visiting his childhood, woman friend at her work place; but he failed to remember. The consequence of his action led to an extensive argument and being accused of cheating on his wife. He has sworn to her that he will not see his best friend ever again, no matter what happens. He has saved their marriage. Is he contented and comfortable with this arrangement? What do you think?
