Reply To: Should Your Spouse Be Your Best Friend?

“If a friend means someone who has committed to you to care about you, your happiness, success and well being…”

Is that how you define a friend when it comes to friends from school, shul, neighbors, and other miscellaneous non-family friends?

If not, why would you make a special definition of “friend” that is only applicable to a spouse? Simply call him/her a “spouse”.
