Do you think married people have to do everything together?

[snowy]

I mean watching movies or taking a walk together. You can do them alone even if you're married. What do you think?

[Finchie40]

No not everything , but their spouse still should be their top priority and still be included , meaning don’t just assume it’s ok for you to do something without acknowledging your partner’s feelings about it , That’s where most relationships tend to have disagreements and problems because most people are selfish and do whatever is best for them without factoring on their partner’s feelings , Just because we think to ourselves it’s ok for us to do this , it might not be ok for your partner , I am not saying you have to hold each other’s hands at all time but acknowledging and prioritizing your partner is key to a healthy relationship. When a partner just does what they think is ok for them and excludes their partner that’s where fire enters into a relationship , Your partner might assume you are being up to no good , and think you don’t value them like they value you , Usually relationships fail when a partner prioritizes their friends and family over their partner , your spouse should always come before them , if your spouse doesn’t like you hanging around a certain someone then you are best to distance yourself from that certain someone instead of just assuming your partner doesn’t trust you and is just jealous or insecure You have to remember you didn’t get into a rely to be single and that’s where most people go wrong , and wonder why they get cheated on or left for someone else , it’s mainly because they do not know how to remove selfishness

1. "Do you think married people have to do everything together?" It's not required by law, and there are no strong customs or traditions in our culture on this subject.

2. If both people in a relationship want to do everything together, they have the freedom to do that.

3. Some couples, usually because of work-related matters, don't even live together, so they do most of their daily activities away from their partner.

4. This is a dimension of every relationship that you will come to understand if you spend enough time dating instead of rushing into a marriage. If it's an area of incompatibility, look elsewhere.

Most of the stable marriages I know have couples who do everything together but I am not saying that is the only way to run a marriage. I would assume they do things together because they like each other, and it's less work to do stuff together. I would not say its out of a fear the other person will cheat or out of a desire to hog all the attention for themselves.

[Sour-rose]

Bruh no. :) you think they should take a shi together? Or how about getting arrested for being disorderly? Or perhaps that same drunk couple takes a bag of dog shi and burn it on someone's doorstep and film it? Sooo i don't think so :)

[Summeroflove]

Not everything. But they should spend time together. But we all need our space sometimes

[HawkPerception]

Most definitely not. Space is an important factor of every relationship and that includes marriage. I believe it's healthy to go on vacation with friends and not your partner once in a while. You can talk to your partner about everything in your life, but there are times when you need to rant about your relationship as well to people that have your back other than your significant other.

[MrOracle]

It's unrealistic and not healthy to think that you must do everything together. Yes, you will do the majority of non-work activities together, and there are a few activities that you should not be doing without your spouse (going out to clubs or other adult-oriented entertainment), but you should have some friends and some life beyond the limits of your marriage. That's healthy and reasonable.

[Fireguy17]

No.
Both my wife and I are independent, so we are fine not being together 24/7.
She will go visit relatives for a week or 2, I stay home, take care of the critters and work.
I am gone a lot in the summer, I work out of town so she is fine with that.
We also do a lot of things together, if you don't then why be together.
I would say it is pretty much 50/50 doing things apart and together.
It works for us.

[smilelots]

No married people don’t have to do everything together but people that get married love to spend time with each other so a lot of people will end up doing a lot of things together like golfing parties, cooking, bathing, showering bath and looking after the kids, playing games cards, hanging out with friends, and then there are times where the Isco their own way for whatever reasons

[worldscolide]

My wife and I have been married for 8 years, together for 10. Let me tell you, we do a lot fo things together. Buy we also value our me time. Even if it's in the same room doing different things. Or if in my office gaming and she is in the living room watching her shows.

When it comes to going out, always together. When it comes to anything else it's about 70/30, as in 70% together 30% not. And this doesn't include when I'm at work.

[Kinkyhubby]

My wife and I do a lot of things together. Mostly it is the only time we get our time together. She works nights, and most of the time running around after school with kids sports, almost 6 days a week. So when we get time, we enjoy doing things together, no matter how small, or what the task is. It could be grocery shopping, but we usually remember what the other one forgets, on the list.

[admles]

No, my wife and I are both firm believers in doing some things together, and some apart.

For instance, if there's a movie I really want to see, which she has no interest in, I go myself. She believes that there's no reason for me to miss out.

She has things she likes to do too, that I don't - it's great for our relationship.

[OracleCassandra]

I think it's healthy to be able to do things alone, but if you prefer to do just about EVERYTHING alone, I might argue that that is less healthy.

[jorfan3]

I'm married, and I think you can do stuff alone. It's impossible to do everything together anyway.

I just prefer to do things with my partner. That's all.

[rosemilk]

i went and got my own lunch today. and later went out and got my own iced tea. shocking i know! it's like i can't be my own person!

[OfMiceandMen]

Not at all. I need time alone, because that is the type of person I am. She would have to understand that.

[RavVid]

I think a shared life should share a lot of activities but it doesn't mean you shouldn't have activities you do alone for alone time.

[BCA6010]

I've seen both extremes work just fine in my family.

[Sugar100]

I’m not married but even couples are clingy live together and cannot do anything alone without a man.

[Tiffany1996]

Most important stuff. Not everything it’s important to have your own thing. Plus need to take a break from each other. But also communication is important.

[jshm2]

Nope. the opposite. They need to do few, but quality, things together,

[Nikki1989]

No, everyone still needs their own time and space.

[Anonymous]

No, i need my personal space. Yes, if we both work and hardly find time, we can spend time together, but being clingy all the time makes it very suffocating.

[TacosRAwesome]

No of course not. Sometimes you need a break from the husband. Nothing deep but I like a few hours of chill once in a while.

[TrillXHippy]

Things like going to to get some gas or grocery shopping. I just don’t think married couples have to really do that together at all. Watching movies and walking together is a different story

[exitseven]

No, sometimes it is good to do things without my wife.

[Spade_01]

No, not necessarily. Although it'd be nice to share some activities together.

[sheena30]

I think everyone needs some different out looks on things, and its nice to have some space for yourself

[Christoff92]

Depending how neutral they are in things. Also depending on how close they are based on being the perfect match 🙂

[MysticDevice]

No not everything. Time apart is as important as time together.

[soe11]

I personally think should be together, will be joyful and love get prosperous.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No I do not. Quick way to get tired of each other or one will get tired of other.

Balance is key.

[Anonymous]

Yes, some separation can be a good thing. Gives you time to miss them and gain experiences to tell them about later.

[Gentleman900]

Im married and no. My wife and I do not do everything together.

[rideorsleep]

No and hell no, they're married, not conjoined twins.

[Rohaan2020]

Yes ofcourse some time with self is important for everyone... its frustrating to have someone along all the time... personal space is rlly crucial

[SunnyRS]

No I don't think so, everyone needs some space of their own.

[JustBeingReal727]

No everybody needs their boundaries including married people.

[nawtee_me]

No but when you have been with someone for a long time it is just natural to do things togethu

[Anonymous]

I only like to do things alone, even If I’m married.

[rebeliouse]

no not at all but would help if they have sex together :D

[easybrezzybeautiful]

No there should always be something you keep and do yourself

[Razp_Sorbet]

Nope. You can do things alone or with friends.

[TheThingALing]

No, that would get boring real fast.

[lightbulb27]

of course not...

[SnowedIn]

We don't do everything together.

[LazerBean]

No, we just happen to enjoy it.

[Agape93]

Nope thats not healthy

[itsalyssaagain]

[Jamie05rhs]

[Pterodon]
