I would also say this is bad advice. I am not going to downvote you (because I think downvoting should be reserved for worse) but if you do this then you are essentially relying on your partner for friendship AND a relationship.

I see too many couples do this - what they really want are best friends and instead they seek out a partner for this. Should your partner ALSO be your best friend? Of course. But you also need other best friends (each of you) separately in my opinion.
