The more time you spend with somebody, the more your
The words of Draymond Green—“The more time you spend with somebody, the more your relationship grows”—carry the quiet strength of an eternal truth. They remind us that no bond is forged in haste, nor does trust bloom in the fleeting instant. Like the slow turning of seasons, the weaving of hearts requires patience, presence, and shared moments.
In the wisdom of the ancients, time was not merely the passing of hours, but the sacred soil in which roots deepen. Friendships, loves, and kinships alike are nourished by the simple act of dwelling together, of walking side by side through both light and shadow. Without the offering of time, even the noblest affection withers, for it lacks the water of daily presence.
To say that a relationship grows is to recognize that it is alive, not static. It breathes, it shifts, it strengthens when tended. The ancients often likened the heart’s bond to a tree: at first a tender shoot, vulnerable to winds, but with care, it becomes mighty, its branches offering shelter and its roots anchoring firmly in the earth. So too with the ties between souls—fed by shared experience, they rise toward endurance.
This truth also carries a warning: neglect diminishes, distance weakens. Where no time is given, bonds grow frail, and what once seemed unbreakable may fall into silence. Thus, Green’s words echo the old counsel to be mindful of one’s presence, for what you give in hours, you reap in closeness.
So let this teaching endure: if you would know the strength of your relationship, look to the time you devote. For love and friendship are not built in grand gestures alone, but in the quiet accumulation of days, in the laughter and sorrow shared, in the patient weaving of two lives into one enduring fabric.

This quote from Green reminds me of the importance of being present in relationships. It’s not just about the amount of time you spend with someone, but how you show up in that time. What if you spend a lot of time with someone but it’s not meaningful or doesn’t create understanding? Does the relationship still grow, or is it the intention behind the time spent that truly matters?

Draymond Green’s insight about relationships growing with time is interesting. It’s almost like saying that every conversation or experience shared builds a stronger connection. But does this idea apply to all relationships—whether friendships, family, or romantic? Are there times when space is just as important as time spent together for the growth of a relationship?

Green’s statement seems to suggest that the more we engage with someone, the more we understand them. But in reality, could spending too much time with someone also lead to strain or conflict? Does the amount of time spent always correlate with positive growth in a relationship, or can spending too much time together create friction instead of deepening the connection?

This quote highlights a simple but powerful truth about relationships—time together naturally leads to growth. But I also wonder, in today’s busy world, can we truly nurture relationships with everyone around us, or do we prioritize certain connections over others? How do we ensure that the time we spend with others is truly impactful and not just time passed together?

Draymond Green’s quote makes me think about how time is really the foundation of any strong relationship. The more you invest in spending time with someone, the deeper your bond becomes. But is that always true? Can a relationship still grow if the time spent together isn’t meaningful? Or does the quality of the time matter just as much as the quantity?
