At any age, a union between a man and a woman can develop regardless of how they imagined it, and sometimes quickly, at the level of mixing intuition, attraction and luck. But most often people wish for themselves partners with a person who is slightly above a certain average level in general and himself in some qualities. In this case, the marriage or relationship becomes unequal. In them, one person appears to the other as: a leader, a parent, a teacher. In such relationships there is no freedom of expression, which can lead to betrayal, jealousy, and even a break in the relationship. If one partner is caring for the other, will such relationships last long? passion and sexual attraction? And for example, in a guru-adept relationship, sooner or later the adept outgrows his guru or finds a new one, and the basis for the relationship dissolves. In contrast to those described above, there may be the following types of unions: 1. A union can be complementary. This is when one partner complements the other. One of them may be a little more distant, while the other is a little more interested in the relationship, and this may well be tolerated by both.2. There is an opinion that people are attracted to each other by similarity when the second person becomes a complementary half.3. There is also such a beautiful romantic metaphor that people form a harmonious couple if they are in tune with each other. They both work in the same field, perhaps they are united by common interests in the form of a hobby, or they deeply understand what each of them is talking about, and this gives them a sense of unity. In harmonious equal relationships there is something that can be lost in subordinate (unequal): 1. Partners (spouses) can be both lovers and friends.2. They enjoy spending time together.3. Communication is usually easy, spontaneous, sincere.4. Sustained mutual attraction.5. The ability to accept changes in your partner (his appearance, insights, interests)6. They can support each other and react flexibly.7. Have your own inner life and respect the life of your partner.
