7. "The Happily Married One" -- It is so important to
       have a real view of what marriage truly is. This is the
       friend who has the perfect caring husband, the kids who
       do well in school and always greet you with a hug, even
       their dog is sweet. They live in a great house and you're
       welcome anytime. They also have great dinner parties
       and always seem to know the perfect people for you to
       meet.  Because this friend is married, there is no
       jealousy factor when you meet the guy of your dreams.

















       8. “The Childhood Friend” -- This is a friend who you
       have a history with. She knew your dog that died 10
       years ago, your family, your stint in rehab and other
       significant life events. There is no need to explain
       significant life events to her- she likely lived them with
       you. This bond provides security and someone who
       knows where you came from and what shapes you
       today. Friends have a strong positive effect in your life.
       For example, research shows that having a bunch of
       good friends increases longevity even more than con-
       necting with relatives and family. Deeply connecting with
       others actually reduces blood pressure and cholesterol
       levels.
