Time apart can strengthen a relationship from "summary" of Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing by MATTHEW. PERRY

In this fast-paced world where everything seems to be constantly moving, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and suffocated in a relationship. Spending too much time together can sometimes lead to a sense of complacency and taking each other for granted. However, taking a step back and allowing for some time apart can actually be beneficial for a relationship. When we are constantly in each other's presence, we may start to lose sight of our individual identities. We may forget what it means to be alone and independent, as we become too reliant on our partner for companionship and validation. This can create a sense of codependency that is unhealthy for both parties involved. By spending time apart, we are able to rediscover ourselves as individuals. We have the opportunity to pursue our own interests and passions, separate from our partner. This not only allows us to grow personally, but it also gives us the chance to bring new experiences and perspectives back into the relationship. Absence truly does make the heart grow fonder. When we are apart from our partner, we start to miss them and appreciate them in a way that we may not have before. We are reminded of the qualities that drew us to them in the first place, and we are able to rekindle that initial spark and excitement that brought us together. Moreover, time apart can help to alleviate any tension or conflicts that may have arisen in the relationship. Distance can provide a new perspective and allow us to reflect on the issues at hand without the added pressure of being in each other's presence. This can lead to more effective communication and problem-solving when we come back together.
  1. Taking some time apart can strengthen a relationship by allowing each individual to grow independently, fostering a sense of appreciation and longing, and providing a fresh perspective on any challenges that may arise. It is important to remember that a healthy relationship involves both togetherness and separateness, and finding the right balance between the two is key to a lasting and fulfilling partnership.
