ABSTRACT
Overall, then, this chapter forms a bridge between two different ways of knowing time. There is experience: For example, Donna and Jay learn to get along with each other as they adapt to each other's rhythms and schedules and, as a result, Jay's ability to be intimate shifts. Then there is research: For example, partners who show patterns of accommodating each other are compared with those who do not in order to determine whether intimacy precedes or follows this accommodation. Figure 6. 1 summarizes some distinctions made in this chapter.
