Are there times when you are not sure if your friends will still be your friends? Do you have an understanding between your friends when the going gets tough?
Most of us don’t make deals with our friends. We always think that everything will be fine and we don’t have to think about contingencies. But things happen that we don’t expect at some point. Do you have a backup plan?
To make sure you know what to do in unexpected circumstances, you and your friends must make a pact. To make a pact, you and your friends need to get together and list the ways you will respect yourself and your friendship through thick and thin, and then sign a pledge to always be supportive of each other.
Over the years, keep your covenant in writing and when times get tough, put it out as a reminder of the promises you have made to each other. For example, your pact sheet might look similar to the following.
1. We promise to respect ourselves, body, mind and heart.
2. We promise to follow our passions and interests.
3. We promise to maintain a strong relationship, regardless of the circumstances.
4. We promise to respect the limits of others at all times.
5. We promise to always encourage and support each other, regardless of the circumstances.
6. We promise to be faithful to this pact of friendship without exception.
7. All members of this compact must sign the form.
By making these promises, you could solidify your friendship with another girl and you could know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you will be there for each other unconditionally. This makes friends feel much more secure with each other.
