In my opinion, it's more adviseable to not have signifcant others around when you go through the program. Even though I'm single, I've spoken with friends who have completed the program and they went to another city to get away from their significant others because they could totally focus on the training. If you don't do the written exams ahead of time, you're studying when you're not flying. So you're pretty much studying, flying, and sleeping. If you do the writtens before you go, you'll have more free time, but you'll still be studying the Seminole systems and procedures and of course sim work. Your significant others can visit though, or you could go away for a weekend if you want. But the program is so intense that you're better off without the distractions. Just an opinion.
