They say the one who loves the least controls the relationship.

Duh! Whoever has the penis has the power in the relationship.

I very much believe in full, 100% equality for both the male and female partners in a romantic relationship If both partners are full equals and neither one feels a need to control or impose their will on the other, that is a very beautiful and special thing right there...

Honestly, I don't even think about "power" in our relationship.

If your husband doesn't know, and you don't know, then it's probably either the baby, or the family pet, or a combination of both.

I can't think of a time when the issue of "power" came up in a relationship.

Joking, but you are exactly right. The sign of a HEALTHY relationship (romantic or not) is that the sum is greater than the parts. What makes a great LTR is that the two parties ADD (not take) from each other, and help them to grow. In helping the other grow, you too grow.

Sure, that's not always how it ends up, but in a good relationship, this should be a major component.

Why would I want to be in a relationship where the only way one person can gain is at the other's expense. No thank you!
Hey, no fair! I love Nila too! She's one of our best and brightest. We're fortunate to have someone who can see and clearly articulate what's really going on.

Bonus points for Ms. Jones!

All joking aside, yes, I see this quite clearly, but I'm too tired this afternoon to adequately respond to the OP.

Women are the gatekeepers to sex, that's why they have the power in relationships. It's that simple

There's a reason why when couples get into fights and sex stops, the man caves 99% of the time
