People on drugs eventually come down and so do people in love. Romantic love can only last so long as a couple are "high" on one another. After that, things go downhill.
Love is very important, but being best friends is a must. Yet almost everywhere we turn in our culture - movies, books and TV shows - we find romantic love, rather than friendship held up as the Holy Grail of happiness.
With a best friend, we can talk freely with our partners, whine and gripe, if need be; really express ourselves and feel that we are being heard; expose our doubts and fears without fear that this will be used against us.
