Not the parent, but I don't think friends are a substitute for a romantic relationship, but having friends is certainly better and more comforting when you're not in a relationship rather than being truly alone.

Regardless, men in romantic relationships should still be sure to cultivate strong friendships

This is often of critical importance for making the romantic relationship last. Your wife should not be your only close friend.
