Editor's Note: We think of Marta Kauffman as an expert on friendship, since she's the co-creator of Friends and Grace and Frankie, which is based on a solid female friendship. Marta is speaking at our NextTribe Out Loud event in L.A. on Sunday, Sept. 18th about Aging Boldly and how to make the most out of this chapter of life. But we wanted you to see what she says about friendship here because it will reinforce all you've ever felt about your dearest gal pals.

It's time to be selective, time to make sure we realize what makes a good friend and how to nourish that relationship.
