In a previous article I discussed the importance of both mates having a hobby. It is important for each person in a couple to have something that they can do for themselves. This helps keep one’s individuality and have personal time to do things that are enjoyed.
While it is a good idea to have something that you enjoy personally, it is also fun every now and then to venture and explore in each other’s hobbies. Even if you are not particularly interested in the activity, you may find that doing it with someone you love makes it fun and exciting.
Venturing over to your spouse’s side of things may give you a better perspective of his or her likes and enjoyments. You can get a taste of how he or she feels and gain an understanding of why the activity is so important to your spouse.
The activity may bring a closeness to your relationship. It will let your spouse know that you are taking an interest in him or her. You may find that while the two of you have separate hobbies, you can enjoy a hobby together.
You may find so much fun doing something together that you decide to select a couple hobby for the two of you to do together. The hobby should be something that both of you can enjoy and take a true interest in doing.
It is good to have something to call your own. And it likely would not be a good idea for you to invade on your husband’s or wife’s hobby and go on all events. However, every now and then it is nice to take interest in what your mate is doing and enjoys. Even if you are not into or interested in the hobby, doing it with your spouse will make it special.
