- Go to Is independence good for marriage loves?
If it is in equal proportion. Although I have seen quite a few happy couples when one partner makes all the decisions. If they both want to make them explosion.

Very enjoyable read; beboppin' in my chair to Good Vibrations, lol
On your question, every marriage and the people in them are different, of course, but I think generally, some independence is a good thing. It can keep things interesting, intriguing and lively as long as the couple regroups on a regular basis and shares their experiences in ways that enrich each other and their bond.

I loved "The Quiet Man" and will miss Maureen so much.....it was always my favorite John Wayne movie - just had to say that. As to your question, I think it depends entirely on what type of persons the marriage involves....people who are two independent by nature need to learn partnership so too much independence, so that they never go to develop the wonderful closeness of true partnership, would not be good for the marriage. But, if two people married who were both timid souls, it would be great if the marriage gave them the solid base of confidence from which to venture out with some independence, knowing they had a safety net.

marriage shouldn't make a difference to what you want to do...if two people are looking for different things in life, I realize now, don't marry.
