Maybe a bit of an echo chamber, too? Like you say or do something and the other person is always like "yes, uh-huh, exactly." Which can be nice in a way....

I know a couple of dual couples and they're pretty much exactly as you described. They're overall healthy people and it does seem like marriages that will stand the test of time, like nothing is really going to put a chink in this thing and cause it to crumble.

Do you think the "laziness" is true apathy or just the result of being able to be fully yourself enough that you can relax? I've wondered about that before.
