The Importance of Male Friends in Marriage

I would venture to guess that the minority of men, who have very deep emotional bonds with other men, do not express desperate emotional needs in their marriage. They get those needs met from their male friends. And when they're in their marriage relationship, instead of seeking out their wife for support and validation, these men seek out their wife to be able to give their wives good feelings and support and love and consideration. That's what I would say based on anecdotal experience.
