Hehe…we always talk about the “couple friends” thing. When I bond with a new girlfriend chances are her partner is not compatible with my husband…I don’t know why, it just always seems to happen!

That ROCKS! When my husband and I found our first couple buddies I was so excited… hubby is more reserved than me. It really is such a blessing. So happy for you!

I’ve heard that’s an issue with all couples. My parents still have that problem. But I think for the most part it just depends on the couple.

LOL, um, love this post!! I am so happy we met today, you are the cutest ever! Loved the burgers too- my 3 pounds of meat and all. What I secretly didn’t tell you is that I myself am friendless and have been desperately seeking new bffs, only hoping that you wouldn’t see the nerdalert that I am! The only thing I’m upset about is that we didn’t take a pic!! Next time. And pretty sure our husbands will be bffs. No pressure TH.

Ok, so let me make it one step smaller-Bethany Jackman was the photographer for Ryan’s other brother, Chase and his wife Amberlyn…

PS: I LOVE that pic by Bethany! That’s actually of a girl in the photography program at BYU and at the LA temple, which is my new favorite temple to shoot at. Love those trees!

WE can be couple friends, right? Haha, too bad we don’t live in Dallas. Someday we should all move to Seattle.

We struggle with this too… especially since I moved here. His friends’ gf’s are all nice, but not someone I could call when I am breaking down (ha… like this weekend.) so I struggle with that… it will be hard to find a couple that NEEDS couple-friends I think.

I hope you click! I understand; we don’t have any “couple friends” either. For the same reason – I really have to like them both and so does my husband – and what are the odds of that? It would be perfect if my best friend and hubby’s best friend got together, but those two have NOTHING in common. It’s laughable to imagine them together!

you’re so cute, looking for BFF couples! We have one couple we like a lot, my hubs grew up with his friend since 6th grade and they got married two years before us, but we all get along great. They’re very good friends, but I’m not sure I’d say I’m BFF with the wife. We have a blast hanging out the four of us, but I’m not sure about hanging out with just the two of us. Maybe it would be a perfect fit, I just don’t know!

We have the same problem! The girls I’m friends with don’t have husbands that mine click with and vice versa! Except for one couple (and we all went to college together) and they live far away

I hope you all click! It’s nice to be able to go out to dinner with another couple and everyone truly enjoy themselves

Small world!

I love your comments about BFF #1 – how TH and her husband talk about budgets. Hilarious

The couple friends we do have are in our small group, but they are all older than us, most by more than a few years and each one has children and we don’t. We enjoy hanging out with each of them, but we don’t really hang out with them on a regular basis just for being together. I need that time!

I was just talking about this same thing with my hubby! As much as I love girls nights, it is even better when that can be combined with spending time with your guy. We have a couple “couple friends” who we love going out to dinner with. It is great to find people who share your interests and can broaden you experiences as a couple.

I wish I loved my bf’s friends, but I can’t see it happening. I don’t mind hanging out with them as a couple, but I’d never call up the female half and go for tea, just the two of us.

But on the other hand, I know that my friends aren’t too crazy about my bf either, and my best friend’s husband is never going to want to hang out one-on-one with G.

I wish we had a real set of couple friends, but the things that we have in common as a couple we do not really share with our friends. Good luck!

My wife and I have our separate sets of friends from before we were married and it seems to work out okay but, yeah, I understand wanting a couple you can be friends with as a couple.

Good luck!

We are here and I understand. I want to have couple friend who have our same belief and understandings. A couple who doesn’t want to party and who is just as committed to their partner. Someone who understand that we would rather spend most of our time together but like some social active with another couple. It is very hard to find couples like this it seems now days. Good Luck!
