People in general don't know the definition of friends. It's not something you turn on and off. Of course you get mad and have disagreements but you don't be a friend only when its convenient for you, no. Friends are known when the going gets though and life's storms seem to be directed only at you.
In intimate relationships, everyone knows you need to be friends first; that is the foundation of genuine relationship. The most common advice at wedding has always been "the two couple should remain best of friends". Having said and know this, the question then is, "are the two of you genuine friends?"
Some people often think its a bad idea to go into a deeper relationship with a long time friend. On the other hand, that same friend can read your emotions, interests, and knows your downsides. A true friend can predict your reaction to an action and would be better off some else that would innocently but frequently press your buttons.
Be the friend you want the other person to be to you. Remaining friends is indeed the best way to keep a relationship. The way your friendship turns out is the way your relationship would pan out too.
