YES, why not. They are both matured and in a committed relationship.

If they are blood relatives or if their spouses are also friends with the same people and they do not see each other alone, it might work for a while. Otherwise, friendships with the opposite sex outside of marriage, frequently weaken the need to confide in and to consult the spouse and thereby weaken the trust and interdependency in the marriage relationship. Once the trust has been breached the door is open wide for all types of outside contacts to be made to compensate for the loss, psychologically and physically. Generally, the answer is NO. It is a bad idea.

If they were brother or sister-in-law, I'd say yes they can be friends.
But otherwise, no. If they have their own spouse, why do they need each other? It would only arouse suspicion among their spouses.

That's the truthiness.

It's possible providing both of their partners are aware of this friendship. If they are just trying to kid themselves by saying I'm with another so this is harmless it can lead to many a difficult situation. So be careful when choosing friendships as romance, although not being sought after, is possibly just around the corner.

it is very possible as long as both of you are happy and faithful in your marriages there is nothing wrong with friendship i mean a lot of people are friends and if nothing else why not do things as couples i mean if u are both married your spouses may enjoy making friends with your friends but there is nothing wrong with being just friends and it will only turn romantic if you let it or make it.

it all depends on the parties in question. Some folks never have to worry about keeping it platonic because they value their marriages and would never do anything to disrespect their spouses or themselves. Other folks are as promiscuous as chimpanzees and don't care about who they hurt while they serve themselves.

Yes because if you both love your spouses, you would do nothing in any respect to hurt, harm or disgrace her/him by your actions.
