Free Spirit
A free soul who never gives up being "authentically you" even within the institution of marriage. You dream of a home where each person has their own study, and your ideal married life is spending weekends together yet doing your own things — "togetherness in independence." You believe true love starts with respecting the other as a whole person.

Did You Know?
In modern psychology, "Healthy Dependence" is a key element of relationships. Research shows that neither complete independence nor complete dependence is optimal — "interdependence" is the ideal relationship form
New relationship forms like LAT (Living Apart Together) are growing. The free type's values align best with modern societal trends
The free type is often stereotyped as "lacking commitment," but they actually tend to show deeper commitment to relationships they've consciously chosen
Relationships
The free spirit gives their partner the widest space in dating. "It's okay not to text every day," "Let's spend the weekend doing our own things" — this relaxed approach is the best gift for some partners, but can be a source of anxiety for others. Even after marriage, they meet their own friends and maintain hobbies separately, but being there when it truly matters is the key to maintaining relationship balance.

Psychology of Free Marriage Values
Self-Determination Theory (SDT)
According to Deci & Ryan's self-determination theory, core human needs are Autonomy, Competence, and Relatedness. The free type has a particularly strong autonomy need, and when this is fulfilled, they show healthier and more committed behavior in relationships.
Avoidant Attachment vs. Healthy Independence
It's important to distinguish whether the free type's pursuit of independence stems from "avoidant attachment" or "healthy autonomy." Healthy independence means maintaining personal space without fearing intimacy, while avoidant attachment means being uncomfortable with intimacy itself.
Individualist Culture and Marriage
In societies with strong individualist tendencies, the free type's marriage values are naturally accepted, but in collectivist cultures, they can cause friction. The key is honestly sharing your values with your partner and adjusting each other's expectations.
Personalized Self-Care Guide
Create Time Together
Independence is great, but commit to regular time with your partner. Intimacy within freedom deepens relationships.
Practice Healthy Dependence
Lean on your partner sometimes. Healthy dependence is not weakness but an expression of trust.
Set Minimum Rules
Set couple agreements like "eat together 3 times a week." Structure within freedom protects relationships.
Management Guide
Your independence is a truly healthy quality for modern relationships. However, check occasionally whether the line between "freedom" and "avoidance" is blurring. When your partner wants time together, practice receiving it as "needed" rather than "bothersome." And even free relationships need minimum rules — try setting couple agreements like "eat dinner together 3 times a week" and "always discuss important decisions." Relationships are healthiest when there's structure within freedom.
