Can married women have male friends

In my opinion, I believe its the degree and extent, as mentioned in the article. To date, there are many cases where affairs are common which starts out as 'innocent' friendships and companionships. Therefore, it is proper to have friends of opposite sex to be let known by their husband/wife accordingly to prevent any miscommunication or suspicion. It is also important to know the limit that you can go with a married individual. I believe friends of opposite sex can be best of friends even after marriage. Since not all of us are of a similar personality, there might be occasions where the husband/wife might not like the friend of the opposite sex. Therefore, it is rightful to keep a considerable distance so as to not create any tension between your life partner. It is also important for both husband and wife to have complete trust in each other to prevent such scenarios from 'popping' up. I do believe that married women receive less contact with their male single friends on the context of the Asian Society. I believe its more neutral in the West where marriage is not a barrier for friends of opposite sex to NOT communicate like before. Therefore, I reiterate that its more on the degree and extent of the contact and interaction. =)
