Actually, it requires it from both parties. However, most of the passive effects last as long as you're bonded to it, without actually needing it on your person. If you're really worried, just leave it in your private demiplane when you don't need it, and it will move away from the other artifact itself without breaking your bond if they come near it. Make sure it's easily accessible to you if you do this, though!
