It’s seems rare to have a close friendship outside of marriage. Developing a limemmkmdes friendship takes time but it requires total acceptance and respect for each other. I’ve had closer friends much much younger than me rather than a close friend my age. That’s not always true but I want to nurture relationships into acceptance and respect, even though there may be differences in preferences. No two people are truly alike on everything. The apostle Paul and Barnabas are an example of acceptance and respect, having differences, yet partnering to accomplish much. The Bible is also honest to point out examples of dishonest, manipulating people who use others to get ahead. Life can be disaster working with such people.
