Love, Justice and the Couple Relationship

Love & justice – return justice to the relationship & you have a chance of rediscovering love.

Justice = reciprocity = give & take = fairness = managing inequality > is highly functional & practical. This is what most couples spend most of their time communicating about – justice – the rock solid, stable, flat line that does not fluctuate & is never betrayed.

Love = empathy & compassion translated into an intimate attachment that contains, expresses & manages sexuality & desire + persuades each person to deliver on justice for the other.

Love fluctuates in intensity & should do frequently, against the biochemical, psychological & relational vicissitudes that are uniquely human.

Justice protects the love between 2 people – love persuades 2 people to produce a just & fair relationship.
