Can a marriage succeed when partners need different amounts of alone time?
In my five years of marriage, I've noticed we argue less about money or chores and more about how much alone time each of us needs. My wife thrives on constant togetherness, while I need a few hours with my books to recharge, and sometimes that makes her feel rejected. So I'm starting to think that some differences in a relationship are just too deep to ever fully resolve. Do you believe a marriage can truly succeed when two partners have fundamentally different needs for space and intimacy, or is that a recipe for eventual resentment?
