The Key to a Healthy Relationship Isn’t More Time Together

One might think the key to a healthy relationship is spending more time together — like shared hobbies . . . a lot of date nights . . . and other couples stuff.

WRONG!

At least that’s according to a new survey.

Apparently, more people believe the key to a healthier relationship is more me-time . . . and we know a few therapists that would agree (who believe too much time spent together leads to unhealthy co-dependency issues).

85% of people answered in the survey that having more me-time, being alone and able to do whatever you want, is the key to a good relationship.

There are 41% of people who even admitted to dumping their partner if they weren’t able to get enough me-time.

The ideal amount of this me-time is about 51 minutes a day, or 6 hours a week.

Some of the top alone time activities are watching TV or movies . . . reading . . . listening to podcasts . . . exercising . . . enjoying a cup of coffee or tea . . . having a meal alone . . . going out dancing . . . shopping . . . going for a walk . . . or getting your hair did.
