Work and pleasure, togetherness and separation comprise the course of the full cycle and life is apt to slide down to monotony. Hobbies provide an escape from such a bottleneck and in a newly married life where enjoyment and interest are to be kept alive, where the success of a marriage may be directly proporlional to the amount 'of accomplishment in this direction, hobbies are good media to help the couple move from one new interest to another. There is the cultivation of new hobbies as well as the nurturing of old ones. The new hobbies may draw the interest of the couple jointly. The woman may paint, write, arrange and institute flower-pots, keep pets and so on. The man may frequent sports fields, read, and try his hand at do-it-yourself jobs.
To pursue a hobby in married life has its merits and demerits. The thing about a hobby is, it may grow and grow and claim a person's every moment of spare time. This may be true of both husband and wife. To help either of the married partners not to get so much involved and entangled as to neglect the other, hobbies have to be tackled properly, so that they do not become too consuming or demanding. Nevertheless the etiquette regarding this has also to bear the theme of encouragement and indulgence. There is to be mutual assistance in each other's hobbies, as far as possible. It is, indeed, delightful if one of the partners can be coopted to pursue the hobby of the other, like the wife's taste for gardening may be passed on to the husband and so on. In such a situation both the husband and the wife can then enjoy the same recreation.
In the early days or years of marriage, it may be difficult for either of the partners to follow his or her hobby, much less allow the other to devote time to such pursuits. This is but natural because of the intense need for the blending of the two personalities and to get such a blending may be more pleasurable and more realistic if each married partner is allowed to retain some of his individuality from the beginning. Moments of absence and separation may make the union more refreshing and binding and they may thereby learn to value the other more objectively and realistically, so that no extraordinarily high expectations may be entertained about each other.
