We've been married for nearly 35 years, sailing together for nearly 30 - and both pretty much started as novices at the same time (with different degrees of enthusiasm to start with)
For most of the past few years our schedules have permitted us to sail for 6-8 weeks straight throughout the summer. As you say that's a lot of close-together time.. 24/7.
To be honest I find that kind of togetherness easier on the boat than elsewhere... things sometimes get a little testy after a long weekend confined to the house... We do have our own interests and hobbies apart, but of course on the boat they're not available.... yet (IMO) we get on even better 'out there'... FWIW
