God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone.
why did God make Eve for Adam instead of a bunch of friends?
God said to Noah to build the Arch for his family and animals , etc . What about Noah friends?
When God sent the Angel to rescue Loh , and his wife and daughters , what about their friends?
when God choose Mary to be mother of Jesus , why God did not send the angel to tell her best girlfriend about it?
God has a thing with man and woman alone. Not your friends, best friends, parents, brother, sister, if You want your relationship be a godly relationship seek God’s example on it…
If You have doubts if it works just between You And your spouse… Or future one.
Read your Bible and see if it worked in others examples God gave us when had a bunch of people involved between a couple including parents, friends, children , etc… it Will probably don’t work the best way or in God’s way.
Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.” - GENESIS 2:18 -NLT
Genesis 2:18. God said — Had said on the sixth day, when the woman was made. It is not good that man should be alone — Though there was an upper world of angels and lower world of brutes, yet, there being none of the same rank of beings with himself, he might be truly said to be alone. It is not good: it was neither for man’s comfort, who was formed for society, and not for solitude nor for the accomplishment of God’s purpose in the increase of mankind. A help meet for him — כנגדו, chenegdo, a most significant phrase; one as before him, or correspondent to him, his counterpart, suitable to his nature and his need, one like himself in shape, constitution, and disposition, a second self: one to be at hand, or near to him, to converse familiarly with him, to be always ready to succour and comfort him, and whose care and business it should be to please and help him.

Ok so we cannot have friends ???
Yes we can as Jesus, the Apostle Paul, etc …
They were single and they had good best friends as they had the bad ones too.
But if your plan is to be married , stop this “single life mode ” and start to build a godly relationship with someone who will be your spouse= best friend, a help mate, bring you closer to God, love you no matter what, both will grown together, And live the best way , to Love And beloved . As God made man & woman for it.
As Corinthians 13 says this kind of love is a true love and it’s possible just for the ones who choose love God above all else.
Ephesians 5:25
Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Ephesians 5:28
In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
Ephesians 5:33
Nevertheless, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
There are many Bible verses teaching us how to live as couple, as husband And wife should treat one another .
Be wise study thyself to be more like Jesus, this way God will bless us in all our ways as He promises : For I know the plans I have for you,“ says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 NLT
