Positive Pairing: 8 Ingredients (Pp) Mathematical Formula

I still think that my time in this world is very short because of my stent #2.  For the past 3 years now, I had been building my core team at home [my family] from scratch.  It has been fun to watch each member of the family grows as a person.  Today, I found one word which define what I’m currently doing – “autonomous training”, see ingredient #1 below.

autonomy-the capacity of a system to make its own decisions about its actions; Personal independence

Positive Pairing Mathematical Formula:
Pp
=( 1 ) (  2 )  ( 3 ) ( 4 ) ( 5 ) ( 6 )  ( 8) ( 7 ) ( 8 )

Pp=0, you are not positively paired with your spouse, partner, friend, team, small group [don’t hit the delete button yet, instead, work on restoring the missing ingredient.]

"The single most crucial factor in love relationships is the feeling of worth each person has for self"

“ positive pairing” – the capacity of each member of the relationship to "stand on their own two feet," being
responsible for self

When a marital relationship is based on a survival pact, where each partner attempts to borrow a sense of self from the mate, difficulties are inevitable. In such a case, Satir illustrated the marital dialogue in this manner: "If I run out of supplies I will take from you. You will have enough, in an emergency, to serve us both" (1967, p. 9). Autonomy is not feasible within such a dysfunctional pact because it threatens the homeostasis of the marital bond. Since the spouses believe that their very survival is dependent on their partner, individuation is seriously hampered.
