Common Interests And Goals

To strengthen your relationship it is great to have some common interests or hobbies with your partner. This will give you a leisure activity or pastime which is separate from your working lives and can be a great way to do something creative and enjoyable together. If you both have separate interests for example if one person plays the guitar and the other enjoys going to art galleries, why not both learn about each other’s hobbies. One of you would learn the guitar in the process and the other person would learn more about art and culture. This is also a great way to bond and to get to know your partner more so embrace your differences and be open minded towards their interests and passions in life.

In terms of sharing goals this is essentially what you both envisage happening in your future together. Where do you both want to live in a few years from now and do you both want to get married? Some of these big questions are deal breakers for some people and is important that you are both aligned on these larger relationship issues.

However, when it comes to smaller goals such as financial or personal goals, you do not need to be as equally committed towards them. Although it will strengthen your relationship if you can both support each other’s endeavors both professionally and personally. This is because doing so will built trust and commitment in your relationship for the long run.
