It is always so important that when you're in a relationship, you also have and keep friendships. Girl time with girlfriends is not only fun, but important to help maintain your friendships, lightheartedness, and your romantic relationship with your boyfriend. Although I have many girlfriends, I would have to say that my boyfriend is hands-down my best friend.

Some people have a lot to say. Which usually includes the sentence "Wow. Your boyfriend is your best friend?" DANG RIGHT HE IS.

I believe that it is so important to not only love and care for each other on a romantic level, but to also have that friendship in each other and keep it there. Find the small things to laugh about, and always enjoy each other's company.
