ABSTRACT

Ah, the joy of being in a coupled relationship! When it is good, your life seems fuller, better, and more meaningful. Even the small moments shared add to your daily joys: smiling together over a shared joke, hearing a remembered song, reigniting a passion, or simply seeing a full moon when you are separated and knowing your partner is also naming that the hot tub moon. Day by day, activity by activity, memory by memory, you and your partner are developing shared quality world pictures together. This also means you are sharing and building mutually need-fulfilling experiences. Happily, experiences build upon each other, adding even greater depth to your relationship.
