From The Friendships of Women by Dee Brestin:
* Point your friend towards God
* Encourage your friend to depend upon God, not upon you (and vice-versa)
* Make sacrifices for your friend (give a thing up so that they may have it)
* "Dream dreams" for your friend
* Pray for and with your friend
* Be honest with your friend
* Be knit together in soul with your friend
Cicero is quoted: "What is in fact sweeter than to have him with whom you dare to speak as with yourself?"
