Can and Man and a Women be Just friends?

Question

Close friends without any problems-especially if they are married to others?

Answer 1

Sure. But there's a mighty fine line to walk.

Jesus said not to allow a situation where it might even be considered something is going on.

Ephesians 5:3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

Answer 2

It depends. How much do you see each other? Do you work together? Do you run to each other about marriage troubles and every little thing? If you look forward to seeing your opposite sex, close friend more than you do your spouse, then no, you can't be just friends. There is a fine line, let me tell you from experience, so be careful. Men and women can be friends, but remember that most romantic relationships start out that way. Watch your boundaries, what you talk about, and how personal it gets.

Answer 3

Yes they can. It probably helps if there is no sexual attraction there at all on either side. Their spouses also have to believe and understand that, and not be the jealous types.

My husband has a female friend he's known since he was a kid; I'm okay with it and so is her fiance. I have a male friend, but he's gay.

Answer 4

If you are both truly in love with your spouses, and there is nothing more than friendship between you, then I don't think the sex of the person should make any difference as to whether the person can be your friend. I have many male and female friends.

Answer 5

Yes; my husband and I are very close friends with another married couple that we met working together. Out of the four of us, me and the husband of the other couple hang out a lot and my husband and the wife of the other couple hang out a lot. We are all around friends together(the two men hang out, myself and the wife hang out too), and our friendship is very rooted in God. I think without that holy foundation, men and women being friends is very difficult, but the four of us have known each other and been through a lot of stuff together through and with God, and He is the reason we are all such great friends.

Answer 6

I've found that in most cases the more time you spend with a person the more likely you are to fall for him/her. I have always had mostly guy friends and there are only about two I havent been attracted to at some point.

Answer 7

As long as they are not the "hanging out with" type of friends. This doesn't fly, and is anything but conducive to the marriage or serious relationship being secure and healthy. Exclusivity is not reserved only for sexual relations but should extend to all other "sharing" scenarios as well.

Answer 8

Yes, a man and a woman can be good friends. Many in society tend to think that's not possible but I disagree. Life is always about sex.

Answer 9

Yes, as long as the spouse is involved and is ok with it!......marriage is something sacred & odained by GOD and shouldn't have anyone else coming between them!....husbands & wives should have everything they need in each other without other's interferring! ...What GOD Has Joined Together, Let No Man Put Assunder (come between)!.....

Answer 10

They can be friends, but it has to be remembered that the spouse is the best friend. Also, it probably takes more care to make sure that inappropriate feelings don't slip in.
