Most romantic relationships start as friendships, study finds
Contrary to the popular perception that love typically sparks from passion, a new study finds two-thirds of romantic relationships begin as long-term friendships.
Ways to Strengthen Your Friendship With Your Partner
“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
The question of whether a man and a woman, or any two individuals who may be attracted to each other, can maintain a purely platonic friendship is a common one. While it is possible for individuals of opposite sexes to have genuine friendships without romantic involvement, various factors can influence the dynamic of such relationships. Personal boundaries, mutual respect, and effective communication are vital in fostering an environment where friendship can thrive without romantic complications. Throughout history, the importance of friendship in a relationship has been a topic of ongoing discussion. However, it is widely agreed that having a strong foundation of friendship is crucial for the long-term success and longevity of any romantic partnership.
Why Friendship in a Relationship Matters
The topic of friendship between men and women has been discussed for a long time. Different people hold different opinions on whether they can simply be friends or not. In truth, there is no definitive answer to this question. It ultimately varies based on the individuals involved and the specific circumstances at hand.
Friendship plays a significant role in sustaining long-term relationships. Whether it's a marriage or any other committed partnership, investing effort in nurturing and strengthening the friendship aspect is crucial for longevity. Building a strong foundation of friendship is key to making the relationship endure over time.
Friendship plays a pivotal role in building strong and fulfilling relationships. According to research, having a high-quality friendship within a marriage is not only crucial, but it also serves as an important indicator of both romantic and physical satisfaction in the relationship. Studies have consistently shown that couples who are friends experience greater levels of

in this episode of the Motor City Hypnotist podcast we're continuing our series on relationships. There's so many levels, so many different. You know things attached to relationships and areas and and just things that go into it. It's amazing any two people can stay together. Honestly, it really is, because there's so much involved with it. Think about you have to get yourself I mean, you have to get your own crap settled and then mix it with somebody else's crap that they're trying to get settled and then try to make crap together. Do you have any sexual problems?
Speaker 1:So we're going to be talking about, well, specifically, friendship and relationships, but we're going to transfer that. That's going to lead into the physical part as well. Fair enough. So yeah, we'll have some fun with that. It's really going to get hot. Hang on folks, we'll be right back.

Speaker 2:It's quite fun. It stings the nostrils, so yeah my apologies, mother Nature.
Speaker 3:No, mother Nature is a bitch Madhead of P how are you gonna wipe a table with this little?
Speaker 1:it's not even wet, so let's go with Winter of the Week. Yeah, we're on the we're, matt. You were back in perfect timing because I was just asking for a rears. We're on for Winter of the Week. That's how winter is done. Matt was almost saying you know?
Speaker 3:what it could have been. You're an asshole.
Speaker 2:No, no, don't shut me up.
Speaker 1:So our Winter of the Week. Let's get on to that, matt, all right, who is it? Okay, what is it? Who is it? It's Army Specialist, renee J Rodriguez. Renee J Rodriguez.
Speaker 3:Army Specialist. Okay, army Specialist. What's going on with Renee?
Speaker 1:On July 19th, specialist Renee J Rodriguez, an El Paso native and Army Combat Medic, was recognized for his heroic actions duringa Soldier's Medal Award ceremony for saving a woman from a brutal assault. Medic. So Renee is a man. Yes, maybe French, maybe not, who knows? It's Renee. Renee, yeah, yeah. Leaving Schofield Barracks that afternoon, rodriguez was headed to the North Shore for the weekend when he noticed a woman being violently assaulted outside of a coffee shop in O'Haiwa.
Speaker 3:O'Haiwa.
Speaker 1:O'Haiwa. Okay, where is O'Haiwa? I don't know. W-a-h-i-a-w-a Must be overseas, it is. I believe it's a.
Speaker 3:It might come out as we go further Okay.
Speaker 1:Fair enough. It wasn't the only violent act he saw, but a crowd of bystanders and onlookers doing nothing to stop it.
Speaker 3:Assholes.
Speaker 1:Okay. So a woman's being brutally attacked. All these bystanders are just, you know, around with their thumbs up their butts, doing nothing. Probably have their phones out. That would be my guess. W-a-h-a-i-w-a W-A-H-I-A-W-A.
Speaker 3:I-A-W-A-I-A-W-A, that is in Hawaii. Oh, there we go.
Speaker 1:Okay. With complete disregard for his own safety, he made the decision to intervene, putting himself between the attacker and the woman. Rodriguez took the brunt of the attack, shielding the woman while encouraging her to climb into his vehicle. Wow, the attacker comes around back, opens my door, opens the passenger door and pulls the lady out and begins to beat her again. What the F? Yeah, I run out of my driver's side, I go to the passenger side and I push him and he pushes me back. Rodriguez recalled in an interview his pushing and shoving allowed the woman to get back into the car. I'm about to sit down. The Army specialist continued. And this is when he punches out the window and attempts to pull me out. Okay, I don't know what this. This attacker has gone berserk or something. I don't know what's going on what is he on?
Speaker 3:I don't know.
Speaker 2:What are you people?
Speaker 1:Maybe to bust out a window with your bare fists what the F? So I looked to the side and I see that he's trying to unlock the car At this point. This is when I started the car and I put it in drive and just drove away. Introduced in July 1926, the soldier's medal is the highest Army individual decoration honor a soldier can receive for an act of valor in a non-combat event. Okay, it's okay, the top award you can get for a non-combat.
Speaker 3:But yeah, it's combative it's combative, but it's not in the military.
Speaker 1:Let's say non-war. Okay, I would say maybe that's over 18,500 soldiers have received the decoration since its inception in 1926. Okay, of the 18,500 soldiers that have received the award, only 241 in the regular Army have been so honored, or around 120th of all soldiers on active duty. Wow, receiving the soldier's medal is a humbling experience that reminds me of the values we hold, dearest soldiers Courage, selflessness and dedication to the greater good. Rodriguez said in a statement.
Speaker 3:It sounds like just being a proper human being to protect those.
Speaker 1:I mean, here's the thing that bugs me about this. Okay, yeah, this one, a dude has beaten up on a woman, yeah, but second, that a bunch of bystanders are just around watching it and not doing anything. I think that infuriates me more than anything.
Speaker 3:Either they don't want to do, they don't care, or they just don't want to be bothered.
Speaker 1:The fuck are you doing? Yeah, that's what I feel like with that.
Speaker 3:And it's unfortunate that that happens. It happens every single effing day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's just bystanders, just not getting involved and not taking it.
Speaker 3:Wait, wait, wait. Let me get my cell phone out, let me video this.
Speaker 1:What happened? Yeah, it drives me crazy. But anyway, Renee Rodriguez, good job. I mean again just being a decent human being, Honestly.
Speaker 2:That's how we did this, Doug.
Speaker 3:So are we going to continue with this topic of intimacy, but we're going to take it to another level, David.
Speaker 2:So back to it.
Speaker 3:And Lucille and. Lucille. And what's his putts, negan?
Speaker 1:Negan had a very. They said so back to it.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, but the two of them had a very close, intimate relationship. But, to understand Negan's story, he had an even more intimate relationship with Lucille, well, well, with his wife, right?
Speaker 1:Yes, yes, and that's where the name comes from. Yes, exactly, spoilers.
Speaker 3:Yeah Well, whatever, if you haven't watched it now you know, I don't listen to you, no more, but this is a topic that I'm actually kind of curious about, because this is where the rubber meets the road.
Speaker 1:Yep, so we're talking about here and it sounds like it doesn't fit together, but you'll find out as we go along. Did you get my pot? I did, I did. Rubber meets the road.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I did get it. I listened to you, no more.
Speaker 1:So we're talking about romantic relationships physical, sexual but we're also talking about friendship, and this is a part of relationships that I want to focus on for this episode, because that line can sometimes be very gray and blurry, but I'm going to give you some information that might surprise you, because it surprised me just doing research online for this episode. So a study has found, contrary to popular belief, that two thirds of romantic relationships begin with long term friendships. I think about that. I'm not surprised by that.
Speaker 3:It surprised me? I'm not surprised by that.
Speaker 1:Two thirds begin as long term friendships before they become romantic. Again, I'm not surprised. I think it's great, my view as a therapist that that's fantastic because if you have to have the friendship part, if you don't have the friendship part, the relationship part is never going to work Correct and yeah, in my experience I've had a lot of friends that have been friends for a very long time and then they finally decide to come together and it really when I saw it the first couple of times it really kind of blew my mind.
Speaker 3:But you've been friends for so long, how did you come to this conclusion? It's almost like the hard part's done, but it was that final conclusion as to come together as a couple and to be together and that's what blew my mind is like what was the spark? Because you're already friends what elevated you?
Speaker 1:to the next level. What pushed you beyond that? Because I know and again, I deal with a lot of adolescence as well. I mean, once you're friendzoned, most of the time that doesn't change. It's not an informed experience. You never get out of the friend zone, at least I haven't. Maybe a couple times, but not enough to make it worth it.
Speaker 3:I've been in the friend zone and now I'm not in the friend zone and it blows my mind as to the spark that made that happen and I still question as to how light was that spark? And it makes me happy, yeah, because that's absolutely that spark was so bright.
Speaker 1:Uh huh, no. So this study, which was done at the university of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada, OK, and the study that the person who did the study was it was a scientist, Danu Stinson, and he stated, though highly prevalent the friends to lovers pathway to a relationship has been largely overlooked by science. So that's why he wanted to study the relationships to find out how this happened. So he studied relationships for 20 years and I'm sorry it's a she the scientist and she noticed over the years that many participants reported they were forming romantic bonds with friends they've known for a long time. Ok, she began asking the question were you friends with your partner before you became romantically involved? And then she said very few studies are looking at this friends first relationship, Despite observation that is more common than people think.
Speaker 3:Well, you're not and the study is not wrong, because you know, history has shown that folks that are friends, first they become interested in one another and find out about one another, but sometimes that that friendship could be one year, it could be 20 years, right, and it's. It's not construed, but it's still a friendship.
Speaker 1:Sure, there's still. There's still a connection, there's still a bond, there's still some sort of thing Now, and I know it's. It's hard. I and here's the thing I'm old, so I have experience in my life. I'm also a therapist. I talk to people every day and it's very difficult to be Friends with somebody you're attracted to.
Speaker 3:Actually it's not, and I and I say that because I have been attracted to a many number of friends, but the fact is I was not in a position to feel comfortable enough to be that friend that said you know what? I want to take this to the next level, Right, and the bottom line is you have to be comfortable enough with yourself first, well, or but the other?
Speaker 1:let's look at the opposite side of that. You are ready to take to the next level and they say, yeah, we're just friends, all right.
Speaker 3:And you know what it takes a bigger person. I'm not going to say man, I'm not going to say it takes a bigger woman.
Speaker 1:No, it takes a no either one.
Speaker 3:Either gender doesn't matter it takes a bigger person to, to say that out loud, right, yes, instead of placating to you know what. I'm going to try this out and just have some fun. You know, if they are serious about it and they're not going to placate to the individual right, you never know what's going to happen.
Speaker 1:I mean you don't. I mean things can change over time, not to you know, it just depends. So let me tell you more about the study. Yes, so research conducted an analysis of seven of their lab studies with university students and adults of all ages, consisting of almost 1,900 people.
Speaker 3:You said all ages. Is that all ages 21 until 80? Or?
Speaker 1:Or it does. It doesn't specify specific, but all ages. The analysis found that 66% of couples began as friendships, many of them long term friendships spanning several months or years. Ok, in the final study, which only looked at 300 students, the friend stage lasted almost 22 months on average before turning romantic, so about two years we're talking, as far as friendships before they turn romantic. Almost half of this sample said friends first was their preferred method of beginning a romantic relationship. Because you know the person.
Speaker 3:Yes, that's just that's common sense.
Speaker 1:But see, but think about it. If you, if you ask people ahead of time, would you want to start a relationship and just be friends for two years? Most people would be like I don't know. No, if I want to wait that long, I'm just playing the long game over here Two years before our first relationship. Before six years. That's a long time to wait.
Speaker 3:You know it is a long time to wait but you know people will be people and they have their urges. So that romantic part, you have to understand that not everybody is suited for that other person that you might have affection for Now.
Speaker 1:here's the other thing that was interesting. The LGBTQ plus participants in the study reported even higher rates of friends first relationships.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Rightfully so. Yeah, so here's the thing. The reason I'm bringing this up is that friendship has to be an important part of any relationship and just based on this and I know this is one study, it's not a super vast study, but the findings are interesting. So once you start and I'll say it this way, I'm going to sound like the old man down the block. You can stay off my grass. But if you take that step to take it beyond a friendship, it's going to things can change.
Speaker 3:No, things always change. Yes, and that's what. That's what folks have to understand. Things are going to change and you have to understand where you are within that change and your place within that. Yep.
Speaker 3:And if you've been a friend with somebody for a couple of years, a couple of decades, and things change, why did it change? What did you do to motivate that change? Right the same token, what did they do to maybe not want to motivate that change? Yep, because there are friends that I have, david, that have been in my life for a very long time. Do I have intimate feelings about these individuals? No, they're my friends, right? Yep, but there are other folks, over years, that I'm like you know what I could see myself, but I'm not courageous enough to pull that to right, to walk down that aisle and actually verbalize. This is what I think Right, and that's where a lot of folks within this community with the intimacy of what about me or what about them? Right, you have to put yourself into a position to want to, or have to, or need to put yourself in that position.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm, am I off? No, no, I get what you're saying and I think the whole, I guess the whole kind of underlying thing here is, if you can be friends with somebody, the intimacy part should be much, much more easier. You say simpler, simpler. You say easier. But easier. Yeah, easier is probably not a good word, but it should be more natural, okay.
Speaker 3:Maybe that's a good word for it. It's a great word for it.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 3:It should feel more natural. Yes, where you can share your most darkest feelings with them.
Speaker 1:And if it starts this way and the reason I'm talking about friendship and relationships and then leads into the physical or the intimacy the physical intimacy and sex is that it is so much more enjoyable. I don't want to say enjoyable, because the act of sex is enjoyable in and of itself, but I have to disagree with that. There's more, there's, it's and again, this is idealistic. It can be more fulfilling, okay. And I because you have that friendship in place.
Speaker 3:I like the word fulfilling but I kind of look at, is it's more? Oh shoot, what's the word I'm looking for? It's, it's. It's so much better when you can look at someone in the eyes and you have that friendship with them and you've led down this road of intimacy and romanticism with them and you can look them in the eyes and you can tell them exactly what you're feeling in the moment. Yeah, it's much, and I like the word for it. It's much more fulfilling. Yes, you feel more better about yourself and the person you're with and the closeness that you have with them.
Speaker 1:Yes, and, and I will say again, I talked a lot of adolescents and that they're, they're, they. I don't think they have a concept of intimacy at that point.
Speaker 3:No.
Speaker 2:It's just sex.
Speaker 1:And again, I've been young once. There are those times when you're it's the whole goal of sex. There's no connection, there's no friendship, that you don't care about any of that. Are you a guy? I'm a guy, I mean, you know. But it could be women too, of course.
Speaker 3:I'm not gonna just, but it's on both sides.
Speaker 1:Right. You're either one or the other is using for somebody for something Right, exactly Right, and I'm not saying that's not fun, but but in the long term fulfillment. I can say, just because I'm older and I know people don't see it, some people would be like, oh, it'd be great to live my whole life like that, but at some point I just say I think at some point to just you're going to be missing something yeah, you're, you're not going to be fulfilled.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes You're not going to have that. That's let's. Let's throw some philosophy into this. Frederick Nietzsche, nietzsche, yeah, it is not a lack of love but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages. Repeat that it is not a lack of love but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
Speaker 3:All right, so Nietzsche could kiss my ass.
Speaker 1:No, I think he's got something there he does, but you could love somebody and not be friends with them. Okay, I mean, there's a lot of people that I that that Well, and you know, so I can say that there are certain people that I love because, whether it's family or friends, but I would I would choose not to be friends with them.
Speaker 3:I mean she's a genius because, yes, I have been married, yes, I still want my Previous partner to be successful and do what they need to do to be happy right, but I could care less right.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean, at this point, why would you? Yeah, I mean, and that really just comes down to you know, your focus is on your own self and and, and you can get stuck in past Relationships and what's happening, but that doesn't do you any good, it doesn't. It doesn't help you move forward. So I mean, if you're, if you're out of a relationship and that person's in your past, there in your past, yeah, there's no reason to go back, love it. There's no reason to revisit it no, there's so. So we're gonna get more into this again. We're we had a whole series on relationships and hopefully these are helpful for you, but, but there's a little bit more on friendship, and then we're gonna get more into the intimate part, as far as physical parts of this, in coming up episodes. So keep an eye on that, all right. So before we leave for today, let me tell you our, our puppy that needs to be adopted from a right, dog rescue.
Speaker 3:Put it up there, let me see. Is shee, shee? Oh, is that a terrier mix?
