"The role of a primary partner is a big one: it entails taking good
care of another human pain in the rear. And the only way for this to
work is for it to be fully mutual. Both partners need to become experts
on one another. With this kind of arrangement, nobody really loses and
everybody truly wins. You can think of it as a kind of pay-to-play
version of romance, and it is, make not mistake, an investment in your
future." - Stan Tatkin, Psy.D. in Wired for Love
Understanding
your partner is necessary for good romantic relationship. Relationship
should not just be "consensual," a political correct term, but really
the relationship needs to be taking care of one another's heartaches,
fears and pains. We need to know how to take care of our partner in
their hard
times not just in the good and visa versa, they need to the
same for us.
