The book I'm listening to (Terrence Real, 'The New Rules of Marriage') says we choose someone who's patterns of relating, communicating, expressing emotion etc are not only: - similar enough to the ones we experienced growing up that caused us problems, because that is what we know and are 'used to' - and yet different enough that it becomes the 'crucible' upon which we are capable of changing or resolving those problems.
I don't know where I sit on the whole thing, just thought that had been an interesting way of looking at it so thought I'd share! Don't have a lot of time this morning but just wanted to stop by and say hello, see how you're doing. Take care! PG.
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
