Having Time Apart From Your Partner (Not Spending Every Second Together)

Look how serious I look in my picture, it is pretty ridiculous if you ask me.  I was just going to delete it off my camera but then I realized that it would be perfect for this post because the importance of time apart from your partner is a serious matter in a relationship.

It does not matter what gender you are – you need to have time for yourself.

This does not mean that you need to go lock yourself in your room and not come out.  It just means to do things that just you want to do.  Live some of your life away from your partner.  There are incredible benefits to this which I will get to later on in this post.

You may be thinking everything I have and do has something to do with my partner.  He/she may have the same friends as you because you both introduced them to each other.

You may be thinking, I work with my lover so I can not get away it is nearly impossible.

You might be thinking there is no way to do this because you have kids and you and there is no where for me to go besides being right next to them.  Or you could possibly be thinking something completely different.

Keep reading and let me explain the importance of not spending every second together and it’s benefits.

The way I see it there are three different ways to having a relationship.

  1. Be with your partner and only your partner 100% of your free time.
  2. Go out and do things with your partner and friends and but never do it without the company of your partner.
  3. Spend most of your days during the week with your partner, spend the others being with friends on your own, and having alone time to yourself.

The third way to have a relationship is the most healthy and here is why.  First and foremost so you can have time to miss each other.  This is very important in my relationship.  I see my girlfriend about five times a week which I think is perfect.  Although I would like to see her every day and she would like to see me every day we know it is for the best.  This is because when we see each other it makes us really excited.

Also having time to just be with your friends and not your partner is good because you can truly be yourself and not hold anything back.  This does not mean that you are all the sudden single because you are not with them at the moment it just means that you are hanging out with your friends.  It is as simple as that.  When you get home to your partner they will miss you like crazy and will want you more then anything.

If you are with someone that does not let you have this time for yourself then they could just be insecure which is a whole other issue which I will write about in future posts.

I have been in relationships that I have spent 100% of my time with my girlfriend and they have all turned unsuccessful.  I know for fact this is the only way to go.  I hope after reading this you have a better idea of why it is important to have time for yourself in your relationship.

10 Ways To Rekindle The Magic In Your Relationship

Are you frustrated that your relationship doesn’t have the magic and romance that it once had?

You’re not alone. Living with the same partner for a long time can become stable and comfortable, and, as a result, can also cause the loss of the spark that made your relationship so special in the first place. Here are some simple, fun and creative ideas to reignite that magic:

1. Send them a unique gift at work – Get a piece of paper and some crayons.  Draw a bright childlike picture with a smiley sun and two stick figures holding hands.  Add labels with your two names pointing to the stick figures.  Write ‘I Love You’ inside a heart.  Next get a large formal envelope.  Place your drawing inside and type up a formal address label of your partner’s workplace, such as: “For the immediate and urgent attention of: Rebecca Jones, Level 20, Collins & Smith Solicitors, New York.” Mail it to your partner so they receive it in the middle of a busy day.

2. Become kids again – If you are walking by a park, visit the swings and give your partner a ride. This will often bring back happy memories from their childhood.

3. Fun with water – On a hot summer’s day, buy two large water pistols and take them to the beach with you.  Pull them out and throw one to your partner and then have a huge water fight.

4. A massage with a twist – Buy a small, decorated cardboard box, a sheet of colored tissue paper, some massage oil and a blank card. Line the box with the tissue paper.  Place the massage oil in the box and write the following message on the card: I know a great masseur. For an appointment call: (Your Phone Number)

5. Bring back childhood memories – Contact your partner’s family and ask if there was anything she always wanted when she was a little girl. For example if she always wanted a porcelain doll, buy one for her birthday.  She will not only appreciate the gift, but also the fact that you were thoughtful enough to find out what she always wanted.  You can do this for your man too.

6. Stare at the clouds – Drive into the country, find a grassy hill, and lie with your partner and look up at the clouds.

7. Go for a walk on the beach – Trace out the shape of a large love heart in the sand.  Sit inside the heart and cuddle your partner as you watch the sun go down.

8. Organize a backyard picnic on a warm summer’s night – Spread a picnic blanket on the ground and get together some snacks, chocolates and champagne.  Lie down on the blanket with your partner and gaze up at the stars
together.

9. Show you’re grateful for your partner – Leave a long-stem rose where your partner will find it, with a note on it saying: “Thank you for coming into my life.”

10. Spice up your lovemaking – Probably the most profound way to rekindle the romance in your relationship is to spice up your lovemaking.  Surprise your partner with a little gift after you make love, try a new position, learn to give your partner a sensual massage before or after, or just spend some time staring into each other’s eyes and caressing their bare skin before making love.

Many people underestimate the affect passionate and intimate lovemaking has on a relationship.  If you spice it up, chances are you and your partner will naturally do romantic things for each other.  Why? Because passionate lovemaking connects two people in a meaningful and unexplainable way that nothing else can.

Something Sweet to Say to Rekindle Passion Back Into Your Relationship

Forget about everything and just think about your significant other for just one second. They mean an incredible amount to you and words can not really describe the feelings. No matter what they need to be reminded of it consistently in order to maintain a healthy relationship.

Something Sweet To Say

Sometimes all you need to say are those three words that you always say to each other every time you get off the phone or leave for work. Those three words “I love you” can go a really long way.

Other times something sweet may be saying “You look incredible”. Men and women both can not be told that enough. Everyone in a relationship wants to know how good they look and how attracted their lover is to them.

Rekindle Passion Back Into Your Relationship

Saying nice things to your lover is great for a relationship because what is a good relationship without good communication. Maybe your lover does not know how you feel even though you tell them all the time. People can never hear it enough.

Passion is key for all relationships to survive. Without it a relationship is nothing more than a title. Saying sweet things can rekindle lost passion in a relationship and make you get those goose bumps you used to get when you first fell in love with each other.

So make sure to continuously say sweet things to your lover. They deserve to hear it from you. Just like you deserve to hear sweet things from them.
