If you’ve ever been in love, you’ve likely experienced the wonderful intimacy you can enjoy in such relationships. The very thought of your partner triggers the most marvelous feelings and you’re on cloud nine when you catch a glimpse of them.

Yet, it’s perfectly okay and even healthy to also be your own person. The hobbies you enjoy, your friends and the personal adventures you still want to pursue are all reminders that you want to keep your own identity.

Demonstrating independence in your love relationship brings you benefits. You can:

1. Maintain your sense of self. When you have solitary pursuits, you’re able to engage with your uniqueness. Bringing out your individual qualities ensures you’re a worthy partner.

2. Make the relationship more interesting. When you bring your own personal interests to the table, you have something to share and talk about with your partner. You can teach them about your hobbies and they can share their special interests with you.

3. Keep the relationship fresh. Spending time together is nice, but too much togetherness can cause relationship burn-out.

You’ll be a better partner if you each have time to pursue individual interests. Too much of the same things can spoil the relationship.
