VERY VERY important.
I hope everyone will say the same thing.
Choose a partner, spouse, GF/BF who feels the same way as you do.
Right from the start. I know that you will get attracted to someone similar to you.

Now the big HOWEVER comes in.
When the thrill is over and the real work starts, meaning child raising, family government, fights, economic powwows begin, well your "own time" flies away.

That is one big sacrifice that women generally accept for themselves, being very committed to progeny propagation..
Their own time for themselves become non existent.

The problem with men is that most will not give up a minute of their "own time" at all.

Negotiate, negotiate. If money is fine, get nannies, etc. Then the quality time is more appreciated by yourself and everybody in the family.

Very important, and more so after you have been together for a few decades. Just make sure it is your time and not "Getting away".

peace and love

Pretty important. Almost broke up with my girlfriend yesterday for that reason, we were spending too much time together. You gota still have time for friends and family.

Extremely..
Personal space is something I value very very much, and too much time spent with anyone can put a strain on a relationship..

If I don't have it then, there is "NO" relationship. I'm "not" going to go through "my" life knowing "What could have been".

Your time is very important... One needs to process information when over loaded or overwhelmed, or needing to find real meaning in life... .... this is or can be an internal experience where one needs to filter information through ones own past experiences inorder to assess the over all picture of where one is, and wants to go in life... Some people would like me not to do this, as it exposes thier short comings , that thier not willing to look at themselves,

when I am... !!!

And it all depends on personality type.. If Im an introverted thinker, meaning I process my decisions through internal filtering inorder to understand the world, or have an artist personality.. I will need much more time to process.. and be much more sensitive to having my own space and boundaries... However, if Im more the external feeling managerial type, I may want to process less, and just share about it with others, and get feed back that way... Either way I have to stand up for my needs.. Let the other person know this is my life, and I make the decisions for it... ......

I agree, it's vital.

Lots of long married couples say that having time apart has been what's made their marriage last.

Be trustworthy, and learn to trust. Easily said, my friend, but it really is the key.

I don't need it. I enjoy every minute I have with him, and have for the past 5 years. We spend enough time apart with work and kids during the week, that if he or I took off for "me time", we'd never see each other. It is hard work to make things work out together nowadays.

It is an absolute necessity! I must have some time to be alone so that afterwards everything can continue as beautifully as it should.
There is no one on the face of this earth that I'd want to be with "all the time" because I actually enjoy my own company -and I never want to be smothered by another person.
This is an excellent question!
