Power Love Values

Try this experiment for at least two weeks. Put whatever you’re feeling on the back burner and dedicate all your efforts to strengthening the Power Love Values listed below.

Equality: Rights, preferences, and responsibilities are more or less equal; neither partner has authority over the other.

Fairness: Partners maintain mutually acceptable division of labor for the maintenance, growth, and well-being of the family.

Friendship/support: Partners confide in each other, without fear of judgment or criticism, and are “there” for each other.

Loving behavior: Partners are kind and compassionate, showing care and desire to help when one is distressed, hurt, or in need of help. They engage in mutually satisfying physical affection, and activities.

Playfulness: Partners enjoy each other’s company and sharing certain experiences. They like to have fun together.

Qualities that support Power Love Values: respectful, flexible, cooperative, appreciative.

Dysfunction of equality: Partners believe themselves to be morally, socially, or otherwise superior, with prevailing rights and preferences. One partner regards the other as defective, abusive, or emotionally disordered. One likes to “diagnose” the other.

Dysfunction of fairness: One partner is self-obsessed, demanding “special consideration” or privileged entitlements.

Dysfunction of friendship/support: One or both have too little interest in repairing the relationship.

Dysfunction of loving behavior: The relationship is unsafe, laden with resentment. (See the Love without Hurt Boot Camps.)
