A long marriage is two people trying to dance a duet and two solos at the same time

Yeah, :-) Well what this means - even though the metaphor is not quite right I agree - is that it's a challenge to be yourself and be partners. What we tend to do is either tend to total separateness or total fusion (the culture's ideal). True intimacy though is being able to balance between connection and separateness, and have both. It can sometimes be a clumsy dance, but when you get it right, it's totally amazing, and you'll have a complete sense of being "home" with your partner - Dr. Max
