The Importance of Space in Relationships

Having a dedicated space away from one's partner is crucial for maintaining healthy romantic relationships. Historically, humans have thrived in environments where they interacted with their partners less frequently, often relying on broader community support rather than solely on their spouses. The overwhelming closeness experienced by many couples today can lead to deterioration in attraction and emotional connection, as constant interaction often breeds dissatisfaction. Reintroducing space allows for novel experiences and personal freedom, which can rejuvenate the relationship and foster a stronger bond between partners.
