Mine: some video games, taking photos, chess, history, football (playing and following)

Wife's: martial arts, heavy metal, cooking, gardening

Shared: art galleries, travel, eating out

We take some interest in the personal hobbies of the other. I have been to watch her train and take part in martial arts tournaments in the past, and she plays Wii Sports, Wii Fit and a bit of Tekken with me. And she'll come to a few matches next time we are in the UK together. But largely we leave each other to their hobbies - I don't think I'd want to discuss the finer points of difficult parts in games with her, and her martial arts and heavy metal gigs are times she goes out with those who are into it.

We share most of ours: History, old buildings, camping, reading, good food, board games, computer games, music

Mine: Dancing, I sing more than him, I prefer 20th century literature, I only really watch comedy TV/films

Him: Cycling, modern architecture, he likes 19th century stuff, he watches more films and TV of varying genres

We do share most of our interests though, and we try to involve each other in our things... I'm working on getting him to sing more, as he as a lovely voice! And I think he'd like me to cycle, but I just can't get into it.
