I wouldn't say it's easier, but it is smarter. There is a lot of work in the alternative. It's called a good marriage.
You have to feed a M in order for it to thrive. If it suffers from malnutrition, one of the partners will eventually get desperate enough to find nourishment some another source.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
