Agreed. One of the images given is that of two trees growing side by side. If they grow straight but entwine their branches, they help each other survive wind and storm, combining their strength. If, however, they lean on each other, should one fall, its weight takes the other with it so neither can survive.
A good relationship consists of trust, giving some leeway to the partner, understanding of minor transgressions, the ability to discuss and resolve petty differences, compromise and the understanding that the other party is to be accepted, if at all, with the warts he or she came with. If those defects are unacceptable now, they will still be unacceptable in the future. This last point is the greatest single catch in failed relationships; the idea that the other will change or that you will be able to change them.
