The ideal relationship can make use of effective modes of expression that are fully understood by the other person.

Summarizing, paraphrasing, validation, and clarification are the best ways to 'disagree and still be (loving) friends,' as in 'So, you're angry that I'm going to a Superbowl party rather than spending the weekend with you. I understand why you're angry and you feel like I'm abandoning you when we have so little time together. I'm glad my time means so much to you. Can you accept that this big game only happens once a year, and that I will make time for you next weekend?' Confrontation, defensiveness, and complaining are the roots, of unhappy marital relationships, where the true root of the conflict (the fact that the wife feels neglected and the husband desires more independence) become masked in wrangling over trivial issues (Strong, DeVault & Cohen, 2001: 188).

Love, although it can manifest itself in many different relationships and emotional guises, remains constant.

Love is not about showing domination, or about one partner being exclusively dominant upon the other. It is a state of trust, where both parties are able to be vulnerable towards one another, and find mutual fulfillment.
