Not directly related to my book, but relevant, nonetheless

For those of you that don't follow my personal blog, I posted some information about the HBO show Big Love and an upcoming story line about rituals of the LDS temples. Warning: there are spoilers for this season, so be fair warned

I'm not sure where to ask, but since I've popped over here and your blog a few times and you don't seem to have a problem explaining Mormon culture and stuff to non-Mormons...

I was looking at an author's blog last night and she said something about how she was uncomfortable with the novel she was writing when she looked at it from a moral standpoint, because it was about a married woman and a married man becoming friends (hint: they're not married to each other), and she implied that she thinks it's wrong for married men and women to be friends. But she ended up going ahead with the story, because she figured that flaws in characters are good things, and that it added to the overall story.

So, is this a common thing in the LDS church, that men and women can't be friends once they've married? Or at all? I can't figure why else this author would say such a thing, unless it's to do with her religion.
