A unity candle is lit at some weddings as a visual reminder that that two people are now in making a life together. It is said “that two shall be come one”.
For some couples this co-mingling of lives seems to happen fairly easily. This is especially true for couples that come from very similar backgrounds. For other couples the need for individuality is strong. A desire not to “lose oneself” can become so strong that it causes issues in the relationship. How can you build a life toegether without leaving yourself in the dust?

Some questions to ask:
** How often do you need to have boys/girls night out?
** How does it make you feel when your spouse chooses to spend time with others?
** How much togetherness should there be in a marriage?
** When does individuality cause problems in a relationship?
** What are some ways to generate individuality within a marriage but still build strength for “togetherness”?
i think everyone needs some time to theirselves even husbands and wives,the problem comes when you would rather be with others then eachother

THE PROBLEM HERE IS THAT THIS COULPLE ARE NOT EVEN FRIENDS. THEY HAVE UNRESOLVED ISSUES THAT ARE NOT BEING DELT WITH. IF THIS WERE NOT TRUE THEN HE’D HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH TELLING HER WHERE HE WAS AND WHEN HE’D BE BACK. ALSO, HE SEEMED TO HAVE SNAPPED AS SOON AS SHE STARTED CRITISIZING HIM AGAIN. SHE IS PUSHING HER HUSBAND OUT THE DOOR. LETS JUST SAY SHE IS A GREAT WIFE AND HE’S ALWAYS DONE THIS, IF HE IS A CHRISTIAN MAN GOD WOULD DEAL WITH HIM AND SHE COULD TRUST IN THAT (WITHOUT MAKING SMART COMMENTS ABOUT HOW HE NEEDS TO GROW UP)
