Current mood:  adored
Ok first of all this will be my last blog here, I am starting a real blog on wordpress, LOL. I opened an account on wordpress some time ago but havent made use of it yet, so its time:) I will prolly copy and paste a few blogs from here to get started, but from now on I will just post a link on here each time I blog on wordpress. Ok so the link for my wordpress is...um shoot what is it? LOL

http://kimberlyprendez.wordpress.com/ ok I think thats it.

The other night I was watching the Bachelor (yes, I am addicted and Jason is not too bad to look at), it was down to last 3 girls, Melissa (whom I love), Molly (not a big fan) and um whats her name, seriously I just forgot her name, we will call her girl # 3. Girl # 3 kept telling Jason how she wants to Marry her best friend, when youre 80 years old thats what matters, that you are with your best friend. She kept saying it so much and the whole time I'm thinking, no no I want a lover, I have best friends and although they are great, I dont need to marry them! LOL. I just think you need to be lovers in the marriage first. If you lack passion then all you are left with is a friend, maybe a best friend. So now you are living with a friend, not a husband or wife.

I believe "we" get stuck in this whole status quo thing "oh marry your best friend and you will live happily ever after." No, I think marry someone who you are very passionate about because they will most likely naturally have qualities of a best friend. Isnt the whole idea of Marriage to have a life partner, to make love all the time, to be intimate, to share everything, make babies (if you wish) ok so um I dont do any of those things with my best friend, LOL. My best friend is a person who I can not see for a year and we get together and it is as if nothing has changed, time has not gone by, um I want to see my husband every day:)

I understand marrying someone who you can be friends with but I dont think that should be the most important thing. I mean duh if I have passion with/for you I automatically also like you as a friend. However, if I like you as a great friend does not mean I am going to have that passion with you, the passion that it takes to keep a marriage alive.

Ok so I have never been married so maybe I am talking about what I want, passion. I think being married can be a wonderful thing if both people are aiming for just about the same idea of what marriage is for them. I want a man to feel passionate about me, to look at me and want to be intimate with me not look at me and just wanna hang out like I'm a buddy! LOL. No, I dont want to sit and watch the game and no I dont want you to sit and watch the Bachelor with me, I want to watch it with my "friends" ha ha. Really, if he was into it he would be more than welcome to watch anything with me, just trying to make a point here.

Needless to say my wonderful Jason The Bachelor wants passion so he let girl # 3 go.

Oh let me give you an example...I have a friend her and her man have been together for years, kids, the whole thing. When they are intimate on a regular basis things are so great for them in the relationship and when they are not, things are bad. Sure they are friends but thats all but eventually without the passion they begin to not even be friends anymore....so uh I think that says it all. You need passion before you think of heading down that aisle then its up to you to keep the passion alive:) I suppose thats where all the work comes in, atleast thats what "they" say. If your passionate about something though it shouldnt feel like work, right? Like Jerry Seinfeld said "oh those people are just lazy" when asked about marriage being described as a lot of work.

Your thoughts are welcomed, please leave a comment:) hey I may be heading down that aisle one day I need info people.

I don't watch the Bachelor, so I can't make comments on that.
And I have never been married, so what do I know? LOL

But here are my thoughts. I actually think one should marry your best friend but of course there should also be passion in that relationship. But I think that the cornerstone of a long successful happy marriage is a deep sincere friendship. Friendships last for ever. Passion tends to dissappear with time. I think that part of the reason divorce rates are so high is because many of those marriages were based on passion. As times goes by the passion decreases and suddenly those 2 people do not have anything that keeps them together.


At the end of the day I think we are saying something similar. You can't have a long successfull happy marriage based mostly on a friendship, but you can't have it either when its based mostly on passion. You need both, I just happen to think that the friendship component should weight more.


But as I said, I have never been married.
Maybe that's why! LOL

ok so we will agree to disagree, lol.
I just believe that if I have passion with somoene they will also be a friend so when that passion lessens throughout the years I will still have my friend plus I have the ability to bring that passion back:) But if I marry someone who is my best friend but doesnt really have the passion I am looking for, it will be a very average marriage and I dont want average, hence why I am 38 and havent made it down the aisle yet:) but yes you definitely need both:) I just prefer passion before the whole best friend thing:)

We don't really need to disagree.
At the end of the day I think we are saying the same thing: you need both :)
I just think that passion is more likely to fade away with time while the friendship persists. If the marriage is build on passion, when this starts to fade away there is nothing to maintain the relationship and work on it. On the contrary, if the foundation of that marriage is friendship that will always be the founding block on which to re establishing the passion.


But we are both single and never married so what are we arguing about? What do we know? We should hear from someone with a long successful happy marriage :)

I hope so! It would be depressing if they are not out there!

I don't want to monopolize your blog but I'll add one more thing. Again, I think we are both saying basically the same thing. I agree that you might never have passion with your best friend. But you can also have both. Actually 2 of my best friends are girls that I've known for 25 years. Maybe we have drifted apart since we live in different countries, but we still consider each other best friends. But there was never any kind of passion on either side. The opposite has also happens, a relationship that starts with a friendship and then evolves into passion.


But I also think there are 2 types of passion. One is the passion that appears the first time you meet someone. It is more instinct, more primitive; it is based mostly on a physical attraction. The other passion emerges as you get to know a person. It is not necessarily a passion based on physical attraction, but rather a passion based on attraction to the mind and soul of the other person. If a marriage, or long term relationship is based on the first type of passion I think that after a relatively short time that relationship starts to brake down as the passion cools. Even if a friendship developed that passion is much harder to rekindle.


I think the second type of passion lasts much longer, probably as long as the friendship because they are linked to each other. If one fades it is easier to work on re establishing the other one.


So I think the long happy marriage happens when there is friendship and the second type of passion. The first type of passion usually leads to short but passionate relationships.


OK.
I'll shut up now :)

Hey Kimberly and I think you have to have both:)

Passion without friendship quite frankly my dear has another name...

Lust...

:)

But if you have both, I think that kind of balances things out... I.e.
You might not be getting along but if that's your friend as well, you will still be able to find the fire, where as if it's just someone who you find sexually attractive, then why not just not buy the cow so to speak?

(You know, when you can get the milk for free as the saying goes)?

If it's just passion then that's just one sided and life has more to it than just rolling in the sack.


There are well, in my case if it's done once a day... And done right....Still 23 hours and fifty nine minutes to fill up with something else:)

Heh, heh:)

(You know I'm kidding right)?

:)

(Or were you thinking, wow, what a stud)!!!

:)

More like, "Clearing throat"... Another 22 two hours to fill:)

Heh, heh:)

Any way, when I was reading this, it made me think of this...

Thought I would share here but you can delete it if you don't think it goes with the topic...

And love and light you:)

Always

Chase:)


~My Best Friend~

(Male)
When you smile...
My world brightens...
When you laugh...
My load lightens...

And when I'm away...
From you...
Missing you...
Is all I can do...

When you're sad...
I feel weary...
When you cry...
I get teary...

And when you are gone...
From me...
I'm like a blind man...
That cannot see...

(Chorus By Male)
When you're not near me...
I know, I'm missing...
A part of me...
Stars don't seem to shine...
Each second feels...
Like eternity...
I know in time...
I'll hold you in...
My arms again...
But for now Baby..
I'm missing you so...
My lover...
My better half...
My wife...
My best friend....

(Second verse, female)
Memories...
That we both share...
And just knowing...
That you care...
Is what I hold on to...
Til the day arrives...
I can hold on you...
Baby...
And you don't need...
To doubt me...
Cause you know...
All about me...
What could be better then?
Being in love...
With your best friend?

(Chorus repeated, female)
When your not near me...
I know I'm missing...
A part of me...
Stars don't seem to shine...
Each second feels like Eternity...
To me!!!
I know in time...
My love I know in time...
I'll hold you in...
My arms again...
But for now Baby...
I'm missing you so...
My lover...
My better half...
My husband...
My best friend....
