It did not mar their personalities or seek to merge them into one character. It did not exist to the exclusion of all other relationships. It was not perverted.<br /><br />There can be healthy soul ties and unhealthy soul ties.

I hear what you are saying, but I gue...Hi Cecilia,<br /><br />I hear what you are saying, but I guess I am looking at this from a biblical perspective. From perusing the Scriptures, it is a young girl's relationship to her parents (seeing a Godly example of husband and wife) which prepares her for marriage. Even the <i>thought</i> that a same sex friendship is a training ground for marriage to me sounds inordinate.<br /><br />I agree that friendships are healthy. I know of nothing in Scripture that speaks of the importance or even normality of s "best" friend. Is there some Scripture to support what you are saying here or are you just sharing your own personal thoughts?<br /><br />Thanks!Latter Days Ministryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405696673350225699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-793573695603056525.post-3892963161502571752012-01-23T00:17:12.120-05:002012-01-23T00:17:12.120-05:00It's a good thing to have a best friend (altho...It's a good thing to have a best friend (although it shouldn't be a requirement). <br /><br />What isn't good is when they start calling each other wives. That's creepy. <br /><br />The exclusiveness and loyalty of such relationships can (but doesn't have to) prepare a girl for marriage. But the best girlfriend relationship itself must be platonic in order to be healthy. <br /><br />Deep, loving, and platonic relationships are important. People who don't even know they exist are social cripples, even if they have good social skills in other areas. The BBF relationship is one way to have that loving, platonic relationship. <br /><br />But when you start talking about it like a marriage, that's unhealthy. Marriage is sexy by it's very nature. The minute you start thinking in those terms, you're skating on think ice as far as lesbianism goes. I'm not saying that if you have talked of your BFF that way, that you have to dump her. But it may be time to put some boundaries on the relationship. Boundaries like NO SEX, and no discussing of the relationship in terms that have a romantic connotation. <br />In order to be healthy, and do what God intended such relationships to do, it must be platonic.Ceciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08904747556627094240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-793573695603056525.post-83211009221065407992012-01-22T20:26:04.650-05:002012-01-22T20:26:04.650-05:00Hello iampastorswife,

It brought back so many memories for me; when I was a preteen I had a group of friends, and if we knew the phrase BFF then that's probably what I would have called them. They were my so-called best friends then, but after I left home and started traveling we lost touch and never regained that connection. <br /><br />Today I was out with my husband and he asked me, "Am I your best friend" and he laughed when I said no. Then he asked me who was, my response was "Jesus is my best friend because he's a friend unfailing. He doesn't look down on me, he always forgives me without question and he's just good!" He understood completely. <br /><br />I love the people who come into my life, but I realize that they are temporary; with Jesus I know that I have a BFF, truly! <br /><br />@ Sis. Leya, is that your blog posted? I have sent it to my 15 y/o daughter. Beautiful writing Sis! <br /><br />God bless you LDM!Iampastorswifehttp://iampastorswife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-793573695603056525.post-1583143687273417722012-01-22T19:31:23.743-05:002012-01-22T19:31:23.743-05:00We have to know our real friends, and our real fri...We have to know our real friends, and our real friend is JESUS CHRIST! :)Leya Ferguson (Never2young4JesusChrist)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03229021201669870779noreply@blogger.com
