Can friendships based on arranged marriage principles work? This group tried it.

The seven of us, who have been part of the group since its inception and are of diverse ages and backgrounds, have different definitions of what constitutes a friend. For some, it’s someone you count on during difficulties. For others, it’s a person you’d want to spend your free time with. But when we gather, there is enough form and flow to satisfy our friendship needs — we’re honest, attentive, and playful.
