Should married women have male friends?

I would definately think so. However, this friendship had to come on a basis-that the husband must know of this friend-or even all of his wife's male friends-and that he knows of their outings, if any.
Mutual trust and most importantly, love must exist between the couple. If one or another is not, it seems likely that the marriage would detoriate into a loveless union riddled with suspicion and negative energy. It would seem ideal for both husband and wife to know and even be friends with their spouses' peers.

However, i do think the wife should choose her male friends carefully, especially if she has already settled down. She could vet her list of male friends in order to ascertain that the friends she would have picked are trustworthy and are happily attached. Of course, these friends would share similiar interests and hobbies. The husband may not be interested in such things-thus, the wife could amuse herself by indulging in these little joys whilst relaxing with her friends. This way, in a sense, the wife would be able to enjoy the best of both worlds.
