My girlfriend would probably be super jealous, but that's her personality. I honestly don't give a shit who her friends are, guys or girls. I've never snooped through anyone's phone before or any of that stuff (have been cheated on though).
I've had platonic friends in the past who were women, but we generally slept together at some point. It's like, some random evening you're hanging out doing an art project or whatever ... and ... well, it's just human nature folks. And yes, it usually makes it weird after the fact. Someone wants to take it to the next level after that.
I think it's easier for girls to be friends with guys, than the other way around. Maybe because they're blocking advances from men 24/7, it's just another day. But dudes will take a shot when we can get it.

Friendship with other couples, ...I don't see why not.
Kind of weird to have a new friendship (not in another group) with someone you wouldn't hang out with, w/ your partner. Could just be me.

I feel great about it. Any marraige worth its salt has enough trust and co-compassion to wish this for each other.

I have had many platonic friendships with women. I have never been married though. any relationship has to be based on trust-- your spouse would have to think (or fear) that you were a real shit to cheat on her with someone you were saying was a friend.
I would hope my significant other would understand. I would, and I would trust.

Don't build a bubble around you and your partner. You still have friends of both sex and need to maintain those friendships.
You and/or your wife might have a trust issue if you go nuts when your partner is alone with someone of the opposite sex for more than one hour.
