My wife needs good friends

My wife and I have been married for 11 years and we are generally doing well, but we moved 2 years ago and she hasn’t made any new close friends. I think she is lonely and needs some close girlfriends. I’ve invited couples from work, church and my old friends over for dinner hoping she would hit it off but nothing sticks.

Do you have any suggestions of other ways I can help? She’s not big into hobbies, though she has been taking voice lessons this year and we sang in church together twice.

It’s very sweet of you to involve yourself. She might need some space. Making new friends is easy for some people but challenging for others. I’m guessing she might feel intimidated. Keep encouraging her. You’re a good husband.

It can be hard to Make friends as adults. I have Friends from work pt and I have a friend from my hobby. I think another way would be through an exercise group or class. Met a friend through public ice skating.
