Do you think a couple should talk to each other everyday and if so how many times a day. Should people in relationships spend more times with their friends than their partner to keep the relationshp strong while giving them time to miss each other. What are your thoughts on this?

A time be given in a relationship must be every time you can afford to spend with him and have an open communication and share interests as well. That is the best time you can ever have so make the most of it. The more effective a relationship for both, the more it is missing even if you almost spend many hours a day. It is still worth having and precious.

I think this varies for different people. You age, how long you have been in a relationship, and what level your relationship is on all make a difference. Some people can stand being together lots of time, others need time away. Younger people think they need to be together all the time because they don't have all the wisdom yet that comes with age. And once you have been in a relationship like me for over 10 years it really doesn't matter. I know almost everything there is to know about him, although we still find interesting things to talk about. So we don't need to spend a whole lot of time together. But even when we are together we sometimes do our own thing like we aren't even in the same room. I don't ever find myself missing him too much. He just started working again and I enjoy him being away. We were together in this house for a few months straight with no time apart. And it wasn't too bad. I got a little annoyed at times. Some people need time away from each other or they forget why they love the person and only see their flaws and how much they can annoy them. So it all just depends I think.

I dont go with the idea of creating egos, to strengthen relationship. You have to give a lot hope to your spouse, and not keep off with your friends alone. Why not stay too much with your spouse so that they understand that you have to spend time with your friends also. And the other thing is your spouse may mistake you sometimes, that you are purposely doing it to get away from them, which may result in bad relationship, than the expected good one.

hola angelfantasy23 in a relationship its not the how many times they talk or see each other. or how many times and how many hours they were together. or with thier friends. as long as love and trust is in the center of thier relationship they will be ok.
