[quote=Anonymous]You need some measure of distance from your spouse in order to sustain a healthier dynamic between the two of you. You must nourish the self so that you can nourish the union. Being constantly in each other's business diminishes the space and capacity for that self-growth, exploration and development, which will in turn pay dividends for the relationship. Sure, be forthright and transparent. Sure, do things that make things logistically easier. But don't forget the value and growth that also comes from a bit of space.

A relevant description of a book I just encountered:

[quote]The parts of our lives that are not being surveilled and turned into data diminish each day. We are able to configure privacy settings on our devices and social media platforms, but we know our efforts pale in comparison to the scale of surveillance capitalism and algorithmic manipulation. In our hyperconnected era, many have begun to wonder whether it is still possible to live a private life, or whether it is no longer worth fighting for. The Right to Oblivion argues incisively and persuasively that we still can and should strive for privacy, though for different reasons than we might think. Recent years have seen heated debate in the realm of law and technology about why privacy matters, often focusing on how personal data breaches amount to violations of individual freedom...the very terms of this debate have undermined our understanding of privacy’s real value... privacy isn’t simply a right to be protected but a tool for making life meaningful. Privacy deepens our relationships with others as well as ourselves, reinforcing our capacities for agency, trust, play, self-discovery, and growth. Without privacy, the world would grow shallow, lonely, and inhospitable...we all need a refuge from the world: not a place to hide, but a psychic space beyond the confines of a digital world in which the individual is treated as mere data.[/quote][/quote]
