I'm very lucky to be with my best friend - and I let her know that every every day!!! No exceptions!!! Ever!!!
Unfortunately, my bud I've been friends with since grade three, is on trophy wife #4
I can't explain to people there is no magical connection or karma or common interests - it's all about working very hard every day to build your friendship - and trust. Trust!!! You're together because you like each other - not just for the sex.
When I was 19 - my friend from university went back to India to "find" a wife. I thought he was insane! He and his family put adds in the paper, held interviews, met families, etc. He was the first to tell me that you have to be friends and be willing to work hard everyday.
I didn't understand that until about three years later - I'm glad I listened though - life is way too short not to enjoy family, friends and deliberately make lots of good memories.
Hey everyone - make your Valentines Day as memorable as you can this year
