At first, our approaches were the sticking point, when we were sort of diametrically opposed to each other. But in reality those approaches to life turned to be cooperative. When we realized that, and when we started to research further on, those turned to be very complementary approaches, very complementary strategies. Because when I am rushing forward without taking into consideration some important details, my husband slows me down and asks important questions, and sometimes helps me to work on them.

To illustrate the point, Love tells the story of an afternoon when she and her husband were lying in bed after showering. “I was wondering if he’d initiate sex, when all of a sudden in my mind I crossed over to his side of the bed and got a sense of what it was like to be him, never knowing if he’s going to be accepted or rejected. It was terrifying. I understood then how deeply ashamed that must make him feel,” she recalls. “It was an epiphany that changed my life.” She immediately began emphasizing compassion in her work with clients, and has come to believe — as does Stosny — that it’s even more crucial to the success of a long-term relationship than love.

How each of the spouses imagines their future co-existence? This question is the axiom many couples do not even suspect about. Our husbands (regardless of their nationality) marry us in order to free themselves of the burden of their own problems and are not eager to take on ours. The opposite is also true: women get married hoping to breathe freely and to acquire a strong support rather than a tangle of resistances. How can the spouses combine their mind pictures? What can they do so that there would be enough of freedom and wealth in the family for both of them?
