In a relationship, we spend a lot of time with our partner. For many, it seems easier to fill their free time with the same hobbies. Are common interests the basis for a fulfilled relationship? Do shared hobbies form the basis for a long partnership?

Of course, it's nice when partners have the same interests. But it is not self-evident. No one can force another person to share a passion or hobby. What is a joy for one can be a torment for the other. This disproportion has a negative impact on the relationship. Apart from that, partners do not necessarily have to have the same interests.

Differences make you curious. Try out what means a lot to your partner! In this way, you understand each other without the test immediately becoming a great passion. If you don't like your partner's hobby, leave it to them. You don't have to bend and do something you don't enjoy.

Different interests also have their appeal: Mutual attraction and passion grow when the paths sometimes separate? They already share everything with each other. They know everything about each other. A few hours for different interests are just right. Last but not least, this awakens the longing for the other and the passion for each other. We want to report on what we have experienced and at the same time bring our own relationship back to blazing with this enthusiasm. In short, living out your own interests – even without your partner – is important and sometimes refreshing. This can be done alone or with friends and acquaintances.
