I agree that romantic partnerships are best when you have core values in common, and goals you're striving toward together. In addition to those shared values and aims, wouldn't it be much more of a learning experience, not to mention more fun, if you and your partner also had goals that you don't share? Without separate efforts and experiences, I'm afraid things would get awfully tedious in a relationship.
Healthily interdependent doesn't mean spending all your time together, I don't think. In fact, that sounds horribly constricting. Where there's no freedom, there's no love.
