Maintaining relationships outside marriage

By Rody

These days, getting married is used as an excuse for some women to not maintain their relationships with their friends and also their friends leaving them to themselves because they think that the married friend no longer need them or should be left alone. Whether you’re the married person, or the friend, you should nit abandon your friends because you’re in a relationship, rather it should be an addition.

This article explains 5 reasons why you should maintain relationship outside marriage:

 
  1. Your life does not revolve around your spouse: One emotional connection you have with your spouse is not sufficient for you to manage in life. Having different connections, conversations with other people are part of the things that enrich your life. Your spouse alone cannot fulfill all your emotional needs or even fill the role of friends and family in your life. So, it is important to keep in contact with friends despite being married.                                                                                                                        
  2. Your other relationships require maintaining: What you give us what you get. When you just got married and ignore your other relationships, you can’t expect them to also want to reach out to you. To keep people in your life, you have to make continuous effort by reaching out, getting projects done together and checking in on them.
  3. Your life doesn’t stop: Things don’t stop because you got married, activities that you used to engage in are still there. While some things might take a different form, your life does not come to a halt just because you’re married.                                           
  4. You’re still who you are: Before your spouse came along and all the glitters in your stomach arrived, you’ve been a person with a career, friends, and acquaintances. A spouse’s presence in your life should not change your status to someone that will shut other people out.
Conclusion.Maintaining relationships outside marriage is necessary for you to be sane, your spouse is incapable of carrying all your emotional needs, and it’s unfair to put that burden on them. Having a network of friends, acquaintances that you’re still in touch with despite being married helps you stay grounded and look beyond your spouse for every of your affairs.
