Within the different cultural epochs there exist different concepts of what is to be meant by 'love', 'marriage', 'human communication'. Maybe we are presently in the process of a paradigmatic change. However certain basic laws within human relations will always persist, such as: erotics, attraction, strive to social security, necessity to combine positive and negative within longer lasting human relations etc. Above all there is a great individual variability. There exist no one-way solutions. The more it is important that not only psychotherapists should be aware of the problems and include them in their daily work. But it counts for every doctor, who intends to operate humanistic medicine (not only a mechanistic one). This means a holistic approach towards a "partner"-patient.
