Finding “your” person in the modern world is not so easy.

And over time, those couples who have eaten more than one pound of salt together begin to wonder whether their marriage is really that happy.

Let's figure out whether a union where partners do not share each other's interests can be called happy.

How does lack of interest affect

Many explain the lack of common interests between couples by the fact that opposites attract each other.

However, this is actually a controversial statement, because if people have met and their relationship has grown to the point of marriage, then it is not possible to talk about a complete lack of common interests. At the very least, the couple has common values that they share.

If you like to attend noisy parties and concerts, and your partner prefers to spend his leisure time playing computer games, then trying to involve him in what you like will only be a violation of personal space.

In this case, it is customary to seek a compromise: your partner takes you to the event and meets you after it ends. And while you spend time the way you want, he calmly plays his favorite game.

A couple may have common interests, but their absence does not mean a disaster, since all people are different and like to spend their time in different ways.
