30 Reasons Why You Should Marry Your Best Friend

One of the perks about marrying your best friend is that they always remember which foods you love and which foods you can’t stand. They won’t order a veggie lover’s pizza with green olives because they know you don’t like them. On the flipside, they’ll also remember your favorite foods so you can always count on them to order you an extra side of pickles with your burger and fries.

You’re best will always remember what you’re allergic to and you can trust them to make sure you avoid contact with as many allergens as possible. If they can’t help you avoid an allergen, such as pollen, they will do their very best to make you feel better

Marrying your best friend will ensure that they always understand what you are trying to say, without you actually having to say it. This could be understanding a certain look from all the way across the room, or even guessing the title of a movie from a simple hand gesture. One thing is for sure, the two of you probably rock at charades!

Sometimes, marrying your best friend means the two of you have been together for a long time. Some might think that means things get boring but the two of you will disagree. Knowing each other for a long period of time just means that you have made more memories together. You’ll be able to look back on them and laugh with each other.

Remember that book, Everyone Poops? Well, they’re not wrong! A benefit of marrying your best friend is that you can be gross in front of each other and not have to be embarrassed about it.

Sure, everyone has their limits but as best friends, you’ll both know what those limits are.

Every once in awhile, you have a rough day that requires copious amounts of wine and a vent session.

After a long week, sometimes you just want to spend the weekend at home. Your best friend doesn’t mind staying in for the weekend and relaxing together.
