Meaningful intimate relationships entail mutual vulnerability and mutual contributions; but balance with respect to vulnerability and contributions is difficult to maintain when participants are widely different in power. Various kinds of imbalance regarding power can initiate difficulty in intimate relationships: physical power to dominate, financial power to provide, intellectual power to overwhelm, perceptual power to penetrate, sexual power to seduce, physiological vitality, etc. An imbalance in most any form of power can occasion difficulties in an intimate relationship in the absence of compensatory factors. Justice may prevail in intimate relationships in the absence of various kinds of balance in power, if the participants and their community are profoundly dedicated to both personal and communal integrity as being essential to personal fulfillment. In the context of such commitments the available powers can be cooperatively directed to sustain personal and communal integrity. In the absence of such a context individuals need to be careful not to try to accomplish that which is beyond their power. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
