Balancing your Relationship

Couple time is important but how much time should two people spend together? In the first weeks of courtship, two lovers will find it hard to stay away from each other and they’ll use every method of communication (text messages, beeping, phone calls, visiting) to be close. Not seeing your better half for two days may seem like torture. There are others who think that they should spend every minute of the day together, even if they find it hard to, because it will enrich their relationship. Do you agree?

Some of us put in couple time that we can’t afford and that can lead to trouble. Skipping classes or sneaking off early from work to be with your man may seem romantic but it puts you in an unpleasant situation. It may even compromise his work. When that happens, an argument looms on the horizon. Very soon things can go from bad to worse.

Quality over quantity is good relationship advice. If a couple spends one day having a great time, the memories should last them another day or so, until they are free to meet again. Rushed moments together will not help; it can even make two people miss each other more.

Contrary to what many believe, there is such a thing as spending too much time together. It cramps individuality. Spending all your free time with a partner can make you quite narrow-minded. It might affect your spirit, to the extent that you’ll hate doing things on your own. You become more dependant on your partner. That’s not an awful thing, except it will make you wonder or question his love for you when he is not able to devote time to you as he usually does. In short, too much couple time will spoil you! So how do you avoid being joined at the hip?

When you enter a relationship, make sure not to neglect your friends and family. Or it becomes a vicious cycle where your indifference will lead to friends snubbing your company. That will make you turn to your partner even more in the thought that he’s the ‘only one’ you’ve got.

Concentrate on having a healthy relationship in which both of you can grow as individuals. Get together with your man and decide what activities you can enjoy together and what you should do apart.

Don’t say goodbye to all aspects of you single life. If you loved going hiking before your relationship, continue to do it, even if it means you’ll be joined by girlfriends and not your guy. If you are nuts about your pet dogs but have to move in with your guy, talk to him about including the canine companion in your life together. Compromises have to be made but you can still win some.

Follow your dreams. They are all that’s between you and personal happiness, so don’t give them up unless it’s unavoidable. Don’t allow your relationship to stunt your growth, mentally and emotionally. A relationship may not last forever. So at the end of the day, your dreams are the one thing you own completely.
