When I first met my husband, we weren’t friends. We met online, and as we got to know each other and realised we liked each other, we decided to start dating. This meant that, effectively, we were dating whilst we were still strangers. But we wanted friendship to be the foundation of our relationship, so we started building our friendship foundation whilst dating. We’ve been married 8 years now and we’re still working on that friendship – it’s a journey.
