There is a lot of good advice in that. No matter how much you love a
person, how well you get along, you do need some time apart and some
life with other people once in a while.

Then there are time you can be together and enjoy the other's company
even if you are not doing anything but quietly reading.

In good weather, I often spend a couple of hours working on a
woodworking project in the garage with the door open. My wife will sit
outside but in sight of me reading a book. An hour can go by with not
a word spoken, but somehow we both like having the other one there.
