Marriage Tip 56. Independence

Although married couples should work as team, husband and wife should never lose their own identites.

For a successful marriage, you must form a partnership with your husband and tackle life's up and downs together.

However, you must also be careful not to lose all sense of your own independence.

You should continue to pursue you own interests which exist outside of your marriage.

You should do at least one thing that doesn't include your husband, preferably an activity that develops you as an individual.

Remember, every string you add to your own bow, automatically makes your marital team stronger.
