You’re doing it wrong. :-)
Seriously though, marriage doesn’t mean you can’t have friends, keep friends or make new ones. It’s a twisted sort of relationship that requires you to give up your friends or only spend time with your wife.
My wife is my best friend but my 2 out my 3 kayak buddies are women, I spend that day with friends helping them build motors, I go on road trips with friends, I go off for mountain biking weekend and ski trips with my friends, etc.
I will say, my friends who have kids do tend to drop off the radar but you can’t blame that on marriage.
