Of course a husband can have a female friend, just as a wife can have a male friend. If they have integrity, are happily married, and are committed to the marriage, the opposite sex friend should not be a problem to the marriage.

NO! Just that simple the only way my husband can have a female friend is if it is one of my friends. Would you want your wife to have a male friend?

Theoretically, men should be able to have women friends. But, the evidence seems to point to the fact that friendship between a man and a woman is likely to slip over into romance unless either they are physically unattractive to each other, or at least one of them already loves another. If neither of these is the case, friendship for friendship's sake is almost certain to become romance sooner or later.
Its probably a good thing to remember that In friendships between men and women we will always have to face certain difficulties that will not be present in same-sex friendships. I think that in such friendships there is almost always a faint undercurrent of excitement that isn't there when only one sex is involved ... a tension that comes from not being in love, having no intention of falling in love ... but being aware that there is always the possibility of falling in love.
Having said that, we still need to function in lots of activities that men and women pursue together ... especially the workplace. I think that once we get past the chit chat (flirty talk) and get to whatever task is at hand, that sexual tension can be left in the background. This requires us to stand side by side and look outward together ... to the job at hand. The alternative, where men and women are focused on just being 'friends' ... looking at each other ... I think the tendency would always be to develop romantic feelings.
A good 'litmus test' for your 'friendship' is to ask your spouse about the things you talk about with your other-sex friend. Your spouse's opinion is very relevant; and if you can't talk to your spouse about the things you are discussing with your other-sex friend... then you have probably already embarked into an emotional affair.

Depends on the husband. I have a lot of female friends, some of them my wife even goes out with. Nothing wrong with it, as long as thats where it stays. Just friends

yes they can. Just becuase there is a friend of the opposite sex doesn't mean that they are going to do things with them. It is healthy for each spouse to have have a variety of friends. So when he has other friends of the opposite sex then they are just friends, because he wouldn't of married you if he was still busy messing around with other women. Plus women always have that gut feeling (instinct) when something is not right in a relationship, so when you get that feeling then do a little questioning and start worrying. But until then don't get to worked up about something as little as that!
good luck

this depends on the couple.
if the wife is insecure then no
but if the wife knows her husband loves her and would never cheat one her and he is trustworthy and is honest about who he is talking to then why not. my husband has female friends but i do know who they are and have met them all although we are really not friends. he does not go out with these women only talks to them on the phone and at work.
if the woman is secure with the relationship there souldn't be a problem.
although i did have a prob with one of the females my husband was talking to but after talking to him they don't talk all that much anymore and i am ok with them being friends i just wanted her to back off a little.
i know my husband loves me and that is all that matters. if a woman knows that she won't be so insecure.

As long as the female friend is introduced to the girlfriend/wife and not hidden or kept secret there should be no problem with it. If they are hiding it then it is DEFINITELY a bad thing.
Goes the same for women with male friends.

Man that can be a loaded question....believe it or not...you can....but be considerate of your wife and make sure she knows who this person is and that she know that there in nothing going on between you to...and then make sure nothing ever happens between you to. If you have built a trusting relationship with you wife then things should be fine...but keep on thing in mind....that if she has no problem with your friend that is a girl , than you should be comfortable with her have a friend that is a guy... if your not ..then rethink your friendship with this other girl..
