Friends are essential spices of married life. There are, however, different categories of friends, some of whom at one extreme may be quite intimate, while others may be just acquaintances. The young couple that start their individual existence may find it very palatable and interesting to entertain and be entertained. This is important for them to get their first lessons in social discourse and contact. The choice of friends, however, is significant because for couples and newly married people, effective friendships com3 from those who are also more or less sailing in the same boat. It means that the most mutually satisfying friendship for a newly married couple would be with another newly or recently married couple. If, on the contrary, a newly married couple acquires the friendship of another young couple with quite a few children, the mutual benefits may be one-sided or reduced to nil.
Since friendships are of various categories, the closest friends need to be of similar dispositions and responsibilities but there may be no harm in having acquaintances of different family backgrounds. Rather, a variety of experience in between regular life may prepare the couple for things to come and lead them to take on more responsibility in the future. Bachelor or single friends of newly-married couples should have the consideration that the former's way of life could not nowtally with the latter's. These friendsshould have the good sense to restrain them selves and their demands on the couple.

Real friends of the couple would turn out to be those who would have the consideration as to when to leave the couple alone and when to expect their hospitality. It may be difficult for the newly wedded to withstand everybody who does not belong to their own kind or to their set. Other friends who are not so privileged should not feel envy on this account nor seek to barge in at inconvenient hours or force their company on the couple unduly. They may remember that everybody has his place in society and these somewhat distant or not-too-close friends may also have their functions in giving training to the couple in formal social behaviour, while the closest friends may have the cream of intense relationship whose usefulness may get dried up in a few years' time.
