Taking on each other’s interests | Bonding with your partner

When you’re in a relationship, it’s important to have at least some interests in common.

At least to some degree, there will be things that you can both do together.

And sure, you can say that you don’t need to have things in common, but interests definitely help

Things to do together

Having things that you can do together are important.

That’s where you have the time to bond.

Through your similar interests.

It’s through your mutual interests in an activity, or a music piece, or a shared hobby.

Whatever it is, it allows you to have time to spend with your partner, doing something you both enjoy.

But what if you don’t have any similar interests?

Learning new interests

I think the beauty of a relationship is that you end up absorbing each other’s interests.

For example, you end up with the same music taste as your boyfriend.

Or you picked up a new show to watch with your girlfriend.

Over time, we end up adapting our interests to our partners, and vice versa.

I’m a big fan of it.

I also think it’s a wonderful sign of a healthy relationship.

See life is long.

We have a lot of years, and if we never learn new things, we’ll grow stale.

Being on the same wave length effectively allows you to continue growing alongside each other.

A wonderful way to bond

I think aside from simply having a hobby for you and your partner to do together, it’s a wonderful time to spend with each other and just be in each other’s presence.

For a relationship, it’s so important we’re encouraging mutual trust and desire for the other person.

That’s the idea behind dating your best friend.

To have the person you’re with just be able to do absolutely everything with you.

I think that’s very important for any relationship.

Someone who you treat like a friend as much as a soulmate.

Do you and your partner have similar interests?
