Women and men who have established no-lie relationships talk about them with reverence, even when they are not permanent and, in fact, even when they are not romantic. Why? In the no-lie relationship there is acceptance of who each partner is, rather than a shallow idealization. There is a genuine commitment to the relationship beyond the immediate. You each act as though you are in a real partnership that will last. .Dory Hollander
About This Quote
People who have a no-lie relationship feel that they are in a real partnership that will last. They know that the relationship is not about love and romance but one that can be a team in life. It is a partnership that has a particular purpose, not because of any attachment to each other but to the work they do. For example, when people feel this way, one person may be willing to put in longer hours than usual or do more work than is usual. In fact, this is what great partnerships are all about.
