Married Friends

lw007

My husband and I have been married about 3 months. I just finished grad school, and have a ton of friends who are a bit older then I, but sadly most have gotten divorced. I have a lot of girl friends from work, etc but most are not married. How did you all get couple friends?? I would really like to have other couples to hang out with but wonder how long it will take to acquire some couple friends! Any suggestions/advice/hope?

What do you and yoru H like to do?

Try volunteering where you are bound to meet couples -- try fundraiser groups.

You might also want to try coed dance lessons --- sign up for salsa or ballroom or whatever catches your fancy.

It felt like to took forever at the time, but eventually most of our friends got married (or at least got into serious relationships).

We went through this really bad, and it started when we got engaged. It seemed like we outgrew our friends, and for a while were pretty depressed about it. But we just seemed to find new friends who were at the same level. We didn't really have to look fo

Why do you specifically want couple friends?  Just an honest question.  Married or not, my husband and I still do things as two independent people just as we always have.  Naturally some single friends have gotten married and we now hang

I am with the previous poster.  Why exactly do you want/need married friends?

Dont get me wrong, there IS something different about double dating, but just because you get married or even become a dating couple, that doesnt mean that yo

I agree completely with the out growing bit. Hopefully we get lucky and meet new friends!

I do alot of things independently. It would just b nice sometimes to be able to double date! Or have group activities where he isn't the only male. But I guess the kinks will work themselves out.

We also lucked out with DH's brother and two cousins getting married within a year from us.  They are our closest couple friends.

We joined a co-ed softball league two summers ago, and met a ton of fun people there.  Some were couples,

All this reminds me of is the "How I Met Your Mother" episode where Lily and Marshall are obsessed with finding couple friends.... I hang out with all of the same people I did before I got married. Marriage didn't magically change who I am or who my fr
