Leisure of spouses I don’t have time to spend leisure time with you. To what extent should spouses belong to each other? Does everyone have the right to privacy? We are not talking about going “to the left” here. Do spouses have the right to some of their own interests and friends? It is impossible to be together around the clock, so you can get tired of each other. Practice shows that most often they defend the right, for example, to a Saturday meeting with a man’s friends. And women become victims, abandoned at home for the weekend. Even the songs confirm this. “When you come home, you’re sitting there,” complains the hero of Vysotsky’s “Dialogue at the TV.” One of the main causes of interpersonal conflicts within the family is the spouses’ concentration on their own affairs. A typical “trail” of the previous way of life, habits, friends, reluctance to give up anything from your past life for the successful implementation of a new social role. A misunderstanding begins to form that family organization inevitably presupposes a completely new socio-psychological structure. People are not always ready to rebuild themselves in the right direction: “Why should I give up my habits?” Once a relationship begins to develop in this alternative form, conflict inevitably follows. Here it is important to take into account the adaptation factor: the gradual inclusion of a spouse in joint activities gradually accustoms him to a new model of behavior. Direct pressure usually complicates relationships. Of course, spouses need to spend leisure time together. At the same time, both spouses need “personal space.” By the way, a woman shouldn’t focus on her family either. Otherwise, a state of concern, tension arises, and claims against the spouse appear. And high-quality leisure, both joint and separate, allows you to bring home an atmosphere of elation, joy and optimism..
