Lifelong friendships are wonderful, but they take work. This work includes accepting changes, being resilient, and focusing on the things you have in common, rather than the things that differ between you. One secret to building a lifelong friendship is reciprocity.
Kindness just needs to generally go in both directions when it’s needed. Another secret is to make sure that a friendship can transcend the different stages of life – such as staying friends with your child’s friends’ parents even after your children are grown and not playing together anymore.
Key Takeaways:
- Building friendships that last a lifetime takes resilience, effort, and commitment.
- Maintaining lifelong friendships isn’t always easy and shouldn’t be taken for granted.
- Give greater weight to your commonalities and respect your political, moral, and religious differences.
