  b. conflict in these relationships is less frequent because there are clearly defined, separate roles.
  c. all parties get along better because the relationships are equal rather than hierarchical.

  a. a couple reducing the pursuer-distancer pattern and increasing each persons ability to tolerate more togetherness and more distance.
  b. when roles reverse in the family, but the underlying family structure and rules for relating stay essentially the same.
  c. any interaction which results in confrontation.
  d. a couple who make change when the other person is present, but return to homeostasis when their partner is not present.
