Most of us need a reliable person — someone to fall back on — when we are having a hard time. We also need a cheerleader — someone who supports us in being all we can be. Loving partners can learn to provide this for each other. While it is important to learn to take loving responsibility for our own feelings, we don’t need to do this alone. In fact, it is not desirable to do it alone. Being social beings, we need others who love and care about us to be there for us and to help us see what is true for us and what is best for us.
Not only can a relationship provide emotional support, it can also help to provide financial support. Many of us feel safer when we don’t have to provide everything ourselves — when we have each other to rely on, both emotionally and financially.
