I think we all have childhood friends way back in our towns. We grew up with them, shared silly things with them and they have been with us since childhood. It’s amazing how one person can mean so much to us. But then we grew up, moved to the city to pursue greater things and we forgot about each other, It’s actually kind of sad that some things really needs to end but some people are lucky to be able to connect with their childhood friends and even luckier, to fall in love with them. But I always wonder if marrying your childhood friend is good and I think it is. You see, I actually married my childhood friend and we are living comfortably right now. I will share with you some advantages of marrying them.
You already know each other’s personalities.
Since you grew up together, there’s a big possibility that you already know each other’s personalities. It would be easy for you to understand each other and you also know how to handle each other. My husband knows that I have a pride that tends to get in the way when we fight so he would always make me laugh first to lessen the bad atmosphere then he would talk to me about our fight. This is how we usually solve our problems and I think he’s the only one who can do it.
You could have the same interests.
Most childhood friends enjoy doing the same things. So when you marry them, chances are that you will still have the same hobbies and you can spend quality time doing it together. It is one of the advantages of marrying your childhood friend since most of the time, couples tend to do different things but with your childhood friend, you will enjoy doing the same thing together. My husband and I love playing online games since we also loved playing video games before.
You know what things upset them.
Arguments start when one person does something that frustrates the other and I think it’s normal. For childhood friends though, they know the things that could annoy them so when they marry each other, they would avoid it so that arguments wouldn’t start. I think that this is really helpful and creates an environment of peace within the relationship. My husband does this all the time, like he would avoid the things that I hate so as not to annoy me.
You know the things that they like.
Your childhood friend can understand you better than anyone. It would be especially easy for them to gift you the things that you really like. During special occasions like anniversary or birthdays, they know which presents you would be pleased and I think that this is very helpful for those people who have difficulty knowing what their pairs wanted. I actually have a hard time buying gifts for my husband if I weren’t his childhood friend but since I am, it was easy for me to pick things he likes.
