The One Habit That Kept Our 30+ Year Friendship Alive (Even During Hard Years)

Описание: There were years when we weren’t talking regularly — no weekly check-ins, no constant updates — and yet our friendship never disappeared.

In this episode of The Friendship Formula, we reflect on the one habit that kept our 30+ year friendship alive through long stretches of distance, different life seasons, and changing priorities.

For us, that habit turned out to be something simple — and powerful — that always brought us back together: laughter.

This conversation isn’t about staying constantly connected or doing everything “right.” It’s about how meaningful friendships can stay alive over time when there’s trust, mutual respect, and a shared way of reconnecting — even if the effort isn’t always equal.

We also talk about how every friendship may have its own habit — something you might not even recognize until years later — and why long friendships don’t happen by accident.

If you’ve ever wondered whether a friendship can survive long gaps, or felt unsure about reaching out after silence, this episode offers a grounded, honest (and light-hearted) perspective on what really matters.
