Hey?!? Who Locked Up My Mojo?

[Greek]

This is very interesting... There really are four "sets" like this that have to be managed for an R to thrive:

1 - What men want in a woman
2 - What women want in a man
3 - What men want from themselves
4 - What women want from themselves

What I mean by that, is that it seems to me it's a very delicate balance to get all of those things in synch in any individual relationship. If the relationship ends up being driven too much by any one of the four, it's probably in trouble.

And staying "in balance" requires commitment and SELF-KNOWLEDGE from each partner and is why the different languages men and women sometimes speak is at the root of so many breakdowns, as without communicating what we need from ourselves and each other to each other, that balance is all the much harder to achieve...

And don't forget the times we live in. This balancing act was not so complicated when our grandparents were building families. Think about how we're raising our daughters now. Careers. Education. Opportunity. Sisters are carrying their power (earning, sexual, influence) down the aisle with them these days. The learning curve is STEEP for all.
