Often couples deny to be best of friends but most of the time people truly in love to each other are good friends. Friendship gifts them a natural will power to stay beside and always generate a strong bonding through which they start understanding each other more closely.

When it comes to a successful relationship for the lifetime, friendship is a most important part of it. Husband and wife truly become best friends at the twilight of their life. All other relations seem vain and only true partnership continues.

That is the most ideal time when they really cherish the strength of the trust grown in between them. Its all about caring, sharing and loving each other, but at the same time it it about a healthy friendship. Friendship definitely grow spontaneously among lovers in any true love relationship. When your partner has started to understand words unuttered, began to read your mind as an open book... offer you help before you ask for it, and thus fulfill all the needs and limit, it is a result of true friendship.

There are many famous couples who were friends at first and then started dating each other. When friends become couples often their marriage last more than ordinary couples. The sense of aloofness and insecurity hardly come because friendship suffice the fact how better you understand and fulfill each other. Sometimes couples also become friends after marriage. And because of the strength of the bonding, their marriage lasts of a lifetime. These are some couples who are lifetime friends:

1.Ulysses and Penelope

2.Pierre Curie and Marie Curie

3.Bill Clinton and Hilary Clinton

4.Bill Gates and Melinda Gates

5.David and Victoria Beckham

7.P B Shelly and Merry Shelly

8.Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

9.John Travolta and Kelly Preston

10.Ike and Tina Turner

Research suggest that 66.54% successful married couples over the world are good friends. Friendship does not mean only helping mates but it also mean supporting your partner, specially in case of married couples. According to some noted psychologists friends who get married face certain problems. They hesitate to involve sexually and physically at the primary level. But when Cupid's arrow strikes, very few can escape. Many philosophers believe that friendship is often born after living together and understanding each other's needs.

Understanding Relationships

Throughout life we are in a constant relationship. The obvious are family, or personal relationships, but there are many others that are not obviously life enhancing, though bring the fabric of life together. We are in constant interaction with both animate and inanimate objects.
Each of us has a friend/friends who we share part of our life with. Why have we got this person as a friend not somebody else? The answer is quite simple. This person or persons give us something that we need and cherish. They fulfil a need or void within us that otherwise restricts the satisfaction we get out of life. The exact opposite is true because as you are receiving the benefits of this relationship you are also inadvertently satisfying the needs and desires of the other person.
So is a relationship a two way street? Not necessarily. Consider the fridge that is standing in the corner of the kitchen. I hear you say that you cannot have a relationship with an inanimate object. Well consider what benefits the fridge brings to your life. It means you don't have to buy milk everyday, so you don't have to go to the shops everyday, so subconsciously you have a relationship with an inanimate object. The milk is cold as you like it, the vegetables stay fresh etc. Life is good until the fridge breaks down. Then you get to feel angry, frustrated, disappointed. The relationship has broken down
Silly example? Well we can mend the relationship by repairing or replacing the fridge. Same goes for everything else in our life. But each broken relationship affects our mood and outlook and so another relationship we have is affected.
Every part of our lives is built around constantly changing relationships except for the relationship we have with ourselves. And for most of us this relationship is stuck in the past and subsequently we are stuck in the present.

What's in Your Suitcase?

In my relationship work with couples, I have found there are certain key elements necessary to create and maintain healthy, intimate relationships. Unfortunately, by the time couples get to my door they are already out of balance and suffering, and their energy is usually invested in blame and battle. Rather than referee, I encourage them to explore the purpose of their relationship, as well as the purpose of the conflicts, and to use the discord to learn something about themselves and their partner. More often than not, it is soon revealed that both partners have the same desires for their relationship, but somewhere along the way, began to work against each other. Recognizing this, the first step is to get back to basics.
To begin, I encourage them to explore what each has brought to the relationship. When we enter into partnership, we come with a suitcase packed with life experiences, including wounds and resentments from past relationships, fears, needs, and painful beliefs about ourselves and even about love. In other words, we come into relationships with wounds that can and will be healed through a new experience of love. With the awareness of these principles and a willingness to practice them, your relationship will begin to heal as you work toward healing yourSelf and supporting your partner in doing the same.
Principle #1: Dig in your own suitcase! Rather than rummaging through your partner's suitcase, look intently and honestly in your own and do what needs to be done to put those things away. In other words, be willing to heal your own wounds.
Principle #2: Honor and validate your partner. The very distinct differences between masculine and feminine energy, even in same-sex relationships, is necessary to the balance of all intimate relationships. Learning to recognize, understand, and support these unique qualities, rather than judging or criticizing, is honoring and validating to your partner.
Principle # 3: Do not attack! Resist attacking your partner or your Self in thought, word, and action. If you only practice this one principle, your life and your love will change dramatically.
Principle #4: Remember that you are Teammates. If a teammate makes a mistake and lets the team down, we generally forgive, encourage and pick up the slack if needed. Rather than take each other's mistakes and mishaps personally, remember you are teammates in life, working toward the same goals.
Principle #5: Remember the Higher Purpose of your relationship. We all need to feel a sense of purpose in our lives, yet we often fail to see a higher purpose for our intimate relationships. When in alignment and committed to something greater than ourselves, our relationship has more meaning, life has more value, and love has no limit!
