It's definitely healthy/normal/best to have at least a few interests/hobbies of your own

Both spouses should have both individual and joint hobbies.

Marriage isn’t about two people becoming one, it’s about two people living parallel lives going in the same direction.

I like it when they have something they enjoy that's interesting. Yet I don't look for that in a spouse

I would hope my spouse would feel free to have whatever hobbies or interests they wanted, or not, whether or not they overlapped with mine.

That's what I thought :( I love everything he's showed me so far. Gun range/bird watching/aquariums/bow shooting. Everything. He's six years older so I guess I almost learned from him.. he just says at my 23 yr age I should have my own..but I don't for some reason

To be fair, just because you enjoy things he enjoys doesnt mean you dont or cant enjoy your own things too. Videogames or reading or art or cooking. Hiking, swimming, collecting bugs, making jewelry or making/editing music. My partner and i both love hiking and fishing. He likes to cook, i like to bake, and hes big into sports while i like art, reading, and exotic animal care. We have interests we share together, and things we e joy on our own, and sometimes we do different things in the dame room just to hang out, ie, hell watch a yankee game while i read ect.

I’d be a little disturbed if she didn’t have interests/hobbies

I like cooking and puzzles and bird watching even, but it's not like a MAIN thing I do constantly. I like everything. He's super into guns for example, I like his guns too! I go to the gun range with him. I do all of his favorite things. I just like everything .. :/

It’s a must, the strongest couples are equals and have their own lives alone and together

Never heard anybody say this before! Usually I hear that spouses love when they both love the same things

I don't care either way. We have a lot of fun together, but we also enjoy doing our own hobbies. I probably wouldn't let him sew my pants, and I probably wouldn't enjoy sitting in a deer stand all day
