We all have had fun filled lives before we tie the knot and have moved on to forge a new life and relationship with our spouses. Some of us especially women take a back seat when it comes to staying in touch with our old friends and then come children and our jobs and the priority changes. Then sets in the monotony of life- which is restricted to work, home, groceries and children and visits to the doctor.

Let us put a pause to this for a minute and rewind .You remember how much fun you had with your boy/ girlfriends before marriage? Having a spouse shouldn't change that. Make time out for your old friends and meet them and unwind. The men can meet over a drink or a game at the club, the ladies can catch up over coffee or spa. Plan a movie with your friends and either of you can take care of the kids when you are gone.

It’s important to make time for yourself and friends where there is a different kind of sharing and interaction. It puts the spunk back in your life and leaves you revitalized. Cell phones and Social Media tools are the latest trend in catching up with your friends and their lives. Live updates and photographs through these media are a rage and there is no reason why you shouldn't be part of the bandwagon.

So go ahead and catch up on the latest gossip, seek advice check what’s’ new in the market or go shopping , meet the boys at the Tennis club, Happy hours, coffee at the club- the list is endless .

As they say friends are forever and for keeps. So make that friends time-out for a happy life.
