We may start out with around 35% of our social time, in the early dating stage, with a partner and that gradually rises up to >70% of our social time with a partner when we are in a stable long-term relationship. Perhaps this is where the phrase 70% of our relationship needs are met by a romantic partner or other variants comes from. Some couples in an LTR spend 25 hours a week together. When we think about our total social activities we may spend about 10 hours a week doing that. So we may start out with around 35% of our social time, in the early dating stage, with a partner and that gradually rises up to >70% of our social time with a partner when we are in a stable long-term relationship.

Loving someone means leaving them free to fly waiting for them to return to you every day by choice and not by obligation. Being a couple, facing life and its fluctuating tides together, is a rewarding challenge only if lived like this. Love is not the possession of the other, it is amplifying their breath, helping to make their dreams come true, sharing time, joys, and pains and the relationship experienced in this way does not become a cage, but a conscious choice made by mature people who decide to join their life journey.

Relationships are a two-way street. I spent years chasing relationship perfection until I discovered what therapists have known all along. The 70/30 Principle of Relationship Satisfaction is a revelation that fundamentally shifted my approach to relationships. We’ve been conditioned to believe that finding the right person means finding someone who fulfills us completely — our soulmate, our perfect match, “The One.”

The 70/30 rule in a relationship is a time allocation rule stating couples should spend 70% of their time together and 30% apart. The 70% together covers quality time, daily activities, and shared experiences. The 30% apart allows for individual hobbies, friendships, self-care, and personal growth. This rule claims to be the perfect ratio for healthy relationships according to psychologists, allowing substantial quality time together while maintaining individual identity and independence. Supposedly it prevents both codependency and disconnection. Time spent together positively correlates with relationship satisfaction and connection, and quality matters more than quantity - engaged, positive interaction time is key. Individual time maintains personal identity and can increase appreciation for partner. However, no studies validate the exact 70/30 split, and the specific ratio appears arbitrary and unsupported by research. The principle of balancing together/apart time is sound, but the key is to focus on balance, not exact ratios, and ensure substantial quality time together while maintaining individual space for personal growth.
