Here’s to Couple Friends!
Welcome to another episode of Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship. I’m your host, Nina Badzin.
In episode 37, my husband, Bryan, joined me to discuss the benefits of making and maintaining couple friends. We each have our own friends, but couple friendships have been important too.
This is Bryan’s second episode on Dear Nina. Hear him on episode 24 talking about how to maintain boundaries in friendships without being awkward about it.

So after over a decade of marriage, my husband and I have a close couple friend. I never realized how great it was till now. Initially the wife started as my close friend and our husbands clicked and now they are close friends and hang out even without us! It’s super amazing! We get to vacation together, plan couple nights and everyone is genuinely happy! It’s been so wonderful for our marriage and also helped deepened our couple friendship as well as individual friendships.
I love hearing a success story! It really does add a nice layer to the social life of a couple.
