No. But, if your spouse does not like or can not appreciate, it is sheer foolishness to take the risk.

I am going through a situation like this right NOW. My husbands best friend is a female, and i hate it, they go out once in awhile and they will speak on the phone occasionally, he is the godfather of her children. talk about being jealous, oh that is ME all the way. We as individuals need to learn to trust and i feel if you are going to have a friend that is the opposite sex, then you should all become friends and hang out together, never forget about your spouse, because when you do that is when the problems start.

No it's not. If a partner can't accept that their other half has friends of the opposite sex then that's their problem. My partner can't understand why I don't get jealous when he talks about his female friend at work. On the other hand he hates it when I talk about my male friends. He starts muttering under his breath and goes all huffy on me. I don't let it bother me though because it's his problem and he has to deal with it.
At the end of the day everyone needs their true friends so why should should anyone give them up just because they get married.

No it is not wrong to have friends of opposite sex when married.If you and your spouse are truly in love with each other then trust has got to be play a major role in your relationship.You can have friends but if you find yourself having unhealthy thoughts about them then maybe you need to evaluate your relationship with your spouse and try and fix it and maybe cool it a while with your friends.

absolutely not! there is nothing wrong with that unless u feel uncomfortable with having friends of the opposite sex. do what u think is right and don't care about what anyone else has to say. life is too precious to be concerned about what others think is right or wrong. do what your heart tells u to do. in my opinion, it's fine to have friends of any sex before or after marriage. now u make the final decision.

Definitely not. I wouldn't get of my guy friends if I was married for anything. That's dumb. Well, its obviously okay to have friends of the opposite sex if you're not sleeping with them or anything like that.

I am married and I think there is nothing wrong with it. It has alot to do with your own relationship. Everyone is different and has there own feelings on this. In my case my husband and me trust, respect, and know each other. It's not a issue in our marriage. If one of our friends ever stepped over the bounds it would be discussed. It has happened once to each of us once. No big thing we sit back and still laugh about it.

Recently in my own situation, a guy at work approached me...we always speak in the hall and I consider him an acquaintance.....well he asked me out for dinner. He knows I am newly married and said, Pamela your husband wouldn't mind if we go out to dinner would he, we are just friends"? I said ,"I feel kind of strange about that. I think its best we keep our friendship at a professional level". I hated to hurt his feelings, but i also do not want my husband to be put in a situation where he is jealous or worried. He is my best friend and its him I want to have dinner with.

WRONG IS SPELLED WORNG. no it's not wrong. it's healthy to some degree unless there is an attraction and if it is, it's meant to be. marriage is not a contract of ownership of your spouse. remember that! there is no law saying you can't have friends or fall out of love with your spouse and end up with a friend. that friend could be your soulmate :)

no as long as you are only friends. But again, i'm sure that in a couple both of the 2 will feel weard with this idea.... of the other hanging with another person of the opposite sex. But i dont think its wrong.
(Also, i'm only 15....!!)

No. If you have a good relationship with your spouse based on honesty and trust I cannot seee any harm in it. I have been married 8 years and have several women friends.
