"In a relationship, surrender is as strong as self-defense: a marriage is full of conflicts. But this drama - like all contradictions in the world - can only be resolved from a third place. This is the third place: from the top. If I can't look at my wife not only as "my wife" but also as my fellow human being, we won't have a real relationship. In fact, everything can be discussed with him only here on this human plane. Here you can heal the wounds that I inflicted on him as a man, or that he clawed into me. I can understand him here.

In a relationship, surrender is as strong as self-defense: a marriage is full of conflicts. But this drama - like all contradictions in the world - can only be resolved from a third place. This is the third place: from the top. If I can't look at my wife not only as "my wife" but also as my fellow human being, we won't have a real relationship. In fact, everything can be discussed with him only here on this human plane. Here you can heal the wounds that I inflicted on him as a man, or that he clawed into me. I can understand him here.
""A párkapcsolatban az önátadás éppolyan erős, mint az önvédelem: egy házasság konfliktusokkal teli. De ezt a drámát - mint minden ellentétet a világon - csakis egy harmadik helyről lehet megoldani. Ez a harmadik hely: felülről. Ha nem tudok ránézni a feleségemre nemcsak úgy, hogy "nőm", hanem az embertársam is, nem lesz valódi kapcsolatunk. Valójában csak itt ezen az embersíkon lehet vele megbeszélni mindent. Itt lehet begyógyítani azokat a sebesüléseit, amit férfiként okoztam benne, vagy amit ő karmolt belém. Itt tudom megérteni őt."
