It can be increased or decreased
It follows the principles of less interest
It has a culture dimension

Usually these relationships leads to successful in which both attempts to have the same level of power.
If wife and husband are equally involve in every activity and their level of power is same than their marriage relationship will be successful
This relationship leads to unsuccessful in which every person tries to exert control over the other.
If I take the example of wife and husband than if wife will exert control over the husband or if husband exert control over the wife than in both
Condition their marriage will 90% lead to divorce.
I think this is the best relationship in which both don’t wants to take control or make decision . I can say that both involves in this relationship are shy.
This is also the good relationship in which the power of one changes with the changing of situation. For example if wife is ill than husband will take care of her means all the power will be in the hand of husband and if husband is outside the home than the power of house will be in the control of wife. So power changes with the situation. This is call parallel relationships.
