I have been friends with her for a few years and now I imagine that she and I are going to get married later on life. I love her and she loves me so is this normal?
Yeah it's normal. Why wouldn't it be? Also, the better you know a person before you marry them, the better off the relationship will be as far as I'm concerned. Some of the best marriages (and domestic partnerships) I know of, formed out of friendships. A lot of folks marry people they don't even really know.
Common marriage breakers like communication problems, financial strain, infidelity, etc aren't the only reasons why they fail. They also fail because people only begin to find out who they married after they've been together for a couple of years. They don't like who their spouse really is after the honeymoon high has worn off.
With that being said, we all know the differences between a romantic relationship and a platonic one; and all the complexity that sex and romance can bring forth. It may be a good idea to test the waters first before jumping in head first.
I am married to my best friend. We knew each other for 13 years prior to getting married, dated on and off for seven of those. So far, it's working out great for us- We have a very close relationship. We tell each other just about everything, even things many spouses consider taboo. We agree on many things, have similar interests, and are just sort of on the same wavelength. It took us a long time to build this kind of relationship, and it's the sort of relationship only two very close friends who are also lovers can have. Why don't you try asking your friend if she would like to try turning things romantic? I wouldn't be surprised if she felt the same way about you... (side note- the first time my husband asked me out, I told him no-- I was young and wanted to party, and I had a feeling I would marry him if we dated, and I just wasn't ready for that yet).
Yes that's normal, and if you guys did get married, that would be awesome ! :) "A friendship that is set on fire :) "
Yes, heaps normal. I have a IIN question kinda like this. It is normal, so many people have this... Problem some might say or maybe feeling is a better word.
