The saying "diamonds are a girl's best friend" has yet to be taken into the 21st century, because these days, ice cream is most certainly anyone's best friend.

Here are some top reasons your relationship with Ben & Jerry's may just be the most stable relationship you have.

1. Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream always knows how to spice things up.

You can have regular vanilla day in and day out, but Ben & Jerry's can always offer the caramel and fudge to lift you out of your vanilla rut.

2. It knows how to take care of its pets, and therefore understands responsibility.

Phish Food, anyone?

3. It is always readily available and ready to listen.

In the freezer aisle or at the shop itself, forevermore.

4. It knows how to take you out for a night on the town.

5. It sends positive messages and promotes peace.

"Americone Dream," "Peace, Love & Ice Cream," and "Imagine Whirled Peace" definitely promote positive thinking (and definitely happy tummies).

6. Ben & Jerry's can't (and won't ever) judge you.

Keep crying and shoveling spoonfuls into your mouth while watching your favorite sad movie. Nothing will change between you two.

7. It understands the younger generation.

I mean definitely "Hazed & Confused," but arguably "Half-Baked," as well.

8. It's always willing to compromise.

It takes two flavors and happily meets in the middle, like with "That's My Jam" or the Core ice creams.

9. They're non-conformative and try to incorporate everybody.

They are coming out with a lactose-free/non-dairy flavor line (for vegans and those who are lactose intolerant alike). They have low-fat versions, Greek yogurt, fro-yo, and just plain ol' ice cream, so there's always something for everyone!

10. Why settle for one man when you can happily and (semi) healthily have two?
