4. A commitment to the practice of deeper intimacy
You understand the importance of vulnerability and know that without vulnerability, trust and real intimacy are difficult to attain and sustain.
5. Freedom from the need to 'fix’ or 'condemn' your partner

It’s not about smothering or just being “roommates.” It means we desire and enjoy spending time with each other.

When you or your partner is in need of aid or assistance, the other will be there as best they can, physically and/or emotionally.
8. Freely-shared appreciation
