For those of you with significant others, what is the kind of stuff that you do to keep the flame alive? Is it good for you to have time away from each other, or do you devote most of your time to that person? Is that a healthy way to have a relationship?

I think the amount of time you spend with a person depends on you and the person you are with.

Spending 24/7 is good for some but not others

Spending time apart works for most but sometimes it doesn't

Just a lot depends on the people in the relationship

Relationships are only unhealthy if there is cheating, abuse and so forth. I don't think the amount of time you spend with someone is unhealthy so to speak, but if you start to neglect friends and family for this person you should re-think your priorities.

i agree with the person above. its all relative to who you are with. i know several friends that dont get to spend much time with their s/o's, so when they do, they make it a point to have a date night once a week. it ultimately comes down to what ever works best for yall.

I think even if you see each other a lot you should have "date" nights. Like real "dates", dinner, movie, ect.

It helps keep the romance alive. Sitting around the house every time you see each other proves to be boring, in my opinion. Keeping that "date" feeling alive can help a relationship!

indeed. some 1 on 1 time is always a good time.

What if your partner does not seem to ever want to do anything but sit around the house? I think that might have been one the downfalls in my last relationship, but I couldn't ever seem to really come up with any other plans. When we made plans, something would happen and we couldn't follow through.

i agree with everything that has been said as far as your question a normal week for me and my S.O. is Friday night we decided what to do together weather its going out with freinds separately or going out with freinds together or just staying in together or seperately sat is all about us sunday is football and lazyness those are the only days we know 100% we will see each other the rest of the week is up in the air if something is going on mon-thurs we will get together or if we just want to see each other so some weeks we see each other every day some weeks we dont see each other at all its all about what works for you and your partner what makes you comfortable and what makes our relationshp balanced. also it sometimes takes a while to find what is right for you we tried seeing each other everyday and we tried spending a week together and a week apart and we found what works best for us ( ... )
