Time Apart
Time Apart
Lastly, it is healthy in any relationship to take some time apart. You may have heard the expression ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’ and this is certainly very true. When you pursue your own interests and hobbies it makes you a more fulfilled individual. Then when you later return to your husband or wife you will feel more enriched emotionally to offer love and support to them.
Time apart could mean different things to different couples. For example for you it may mean a weekend away visiting your parents on your own. Whilst for others it may only mean a night out with their friends. Whatever it may be, it is healthy to not spend every minute of every day with your significant other. Learn to embrace your own interests and passions in life and support each other as discussed in tip three. Doing this will ultimately help you to both grow together as individuals and as a unified couple.
I hope that these five points can refresh your sense of what makes a great relationship. Whether you are just starting out in a new relationship or if you have been married for over twenty years, it never did anyone any harm to improve one’s relationship skills. It is a constant journey that we are all working towards each and every day.
