Finding good friends is harder than it’s ever been.

Not because people are busy, but because most people don’t want accountability.

People shy away from the work.

And in a blended family, that mistake can be expensive.

The wrong friends will:

• Undermine your spouse

• Normalize disrespect

• Encourage escape

• Call dysfunction “self-care” or "boundaries"

The right friends do the opposite.

The right friends protect your marriage.

The right friends speak truth.

The right friends value covenant over comfort.

Scripture is blunt about this:

“He who walks with wise men will be wise,

but the companion of fools will suffer harm.”

Proverbs 13:20 (NASB)

Your kids are watching who has access to your marriage and family.

Your spouse feels the push even when you don’t notice it.

And your marriage will drift, or strengthen, based on who you bring in.

Choose friends who:

• Honor your marriage

• Respect your spouse

• Tell you the truth

• Are building something, not running from something

Loneliness is hard.

But the wrong friends are worse.

Guard your circle.

Your family depends on it.
