I think that just in vanilla life, making and keeping friendships is so difficult. Our lives are so busy, often we don't have time to ourselves, let alone feel like making time to forge friendships with others.
For us specifically it depends. We are open to making friends everywhere, anytime. But we also seek out (and have) a few 'close' friends to swing with. The kind of friends you invite over to a BBQ or on vacation. It has taken us a while to find them, a long time to get to know them, and it is work to keep it going. To us it is worth it. But it is just like when Mr and I were dating. It took him 26 years to find me, 2 years to 'court me' and 10 years to swing with me! Now, I do not expect the same bond with another couple as I have with him, but in perspective, there isn't a lot of difference.
Finding other couples to have a good time with, on your schedule, when you want to, is much easier!
