I had unexpected company and computer problems and was unable to get back here to respond to your comment until now. There's no doubt about it. Having the freedom to be oneself and to grow within a relationship is crucial to the relationship's longevity. I love the description you provide above. I'm a very independent INFJ and my partner recognizes that I need more time and space alone than he does and he gives me what I need. Thanks for the visit and best wishes. :) Please accept my apology for the delayed response.

I enjoyed reading this. #3, giving people freedom to be themselves resonates especially with me. I think that is so important. And space is also important. I always remember the Kahlil Gibran essay on love (I think it was love), that there should be space between couples, so that the winds of heaven can dance between them. Isn't that a beautiful way of relating to that? Best, John These are good and experienced thoughts. I enjoyed reading this.
