A relationship will work when there is respect for the differences and when couples don’t try to dominate each other, but instead embrace each other’s style of relating. Yin and Yang complement each other in every respect and polarities naturally strive for balance and harmony. The change that is necessary is appreciation of the differences, learning to value the reflection that a mate is to their individual souls. A couple will fail to relate to each other until the currents of love force a new approach. The lack of appreciation of the differences results in discord, imbalance and inequality. But when there is opposition the result can be likened to the King and Queen becoming opponents, each trying to dominate and dethrone each other rather than ruling together. If she is cognizant enough to know he’s not callous but instead reasonable, she can grow to appreciate the masculine intellect for its ability to problem solve without allowing emotions to cloud his thinking. She might find her man cold and unresponsive to her needs and constantly demand more from him, not appreciating his way has value. A woman who rejects the yang characteristics in her mate will find it hard to relate to her man, expecting him to be as communicative and nurturing as she is and will be heartbroken when he is not. A man that is too yang will be driven away from his emotions, think a woman’s intuition is nonsense and her emotionality childish. There is of course tension between these two styles of thinking and approaching life choices, as men often exercise their masculine strength sometimes at the expense of women’s desires for deeper understanding and emotional logic. In her relationships, it is natural for her to give intuitive guidance and support with love. She will evolve to become more intuitive, compassionate and in tune as she consistently trusts the validity of her intuition and sees that loving compassionately brings meaning to her life and a sense of purpose. She values love and support above getting what she wants. A woman’s natural tendency is to intuit cues from her surroundings, mull them over and base her decisions on hunches. They tend to seek complete understanding of a situation before making choices. Women more naturally identify with the feminine qualities of receptivity, emotional logic and intuition, the “yin” aspects. In relationships, his tendency will be to want to lead. He will gain authority every time he succeeds at influencing others and will learn to value male brilliance as a light in the world that casts out the darkness of archaic beliefs. A man will grow to understand that through sheer will and relentless perseverance he can make a difference in his world if he aligns with high ideals and achieves excellence. A man exerts his masculine intelligence conquering old ideas and concepts and paves the way for new ones using his ingenuity. They gravitate toward analysis, reason and logic in making decisions and approaching problems. Men naturally identify with the more masculine characteristics, the “yang” aspects of their intelligence. As yin and yang, you complement each other perfectly and are the balance of intellect and emotions. And you “yin”, receptive and emotional with traits considered feminine. In most instances, your guy will be “yang”, oriented towards his intellect, self-driven with traits that are considered masculine. You are polar opposites and often miles apart in the ways you relate in a relationship. When you meet that one special person you consider your perfect match, a soulmate, the magnetic pull is undeniable and the differences between you obvious from the start. It is believed that the interactions and balance of these forces in people influence their behavior and fate. In Taoism, a Chinese philosophy, there are two fundamental principles: one negative, passive, earthy, dark, cold, wet, and feminine (yin) and the other positive, bright, heavenly, active, dry, hot and masculine (yang).
