Relationships need both independence to breath and togetherness to thrive.

Finding the right balance of space and connectedness makes relationships operate more easily.

Independence gives each person in the relationship the opportunity to grow as an individual and to pursue their own interests, while togetherness allows the couple to share their lives and experiences with each other. Both are essential for a healthy and happy relationship.
