“In the true married relationship, the independence of husband and wife will be equal, their dependence mutual, and their obligations reciprocal.”

“For Hegel, by contrast, liberal society is a reciprocal and equal agreement among citizens to mutually recognize each other”

“The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends.”

“For everyone you create to be dependent on you, you are equally dependent on them. Neither relationship is healthy.”

“The proper basis for marriage is mutual misunderstanding. The happiness of a married man depends on the people he has not married. One should always be in love - that's the reason one should never marry.”

“With reciprocity all things do not need to be equal in order for acceptance and mutuality to thrive. If equality is evoked as the only standard by which it is deemed acceptable for people to meet across boundaries and create community, then there is little hope. Fortunately, mutuality is a more constructive and positive foundation for the building of ties that allow for differences in status, position, power, and privilege whether determined by race, class, sexuality, religion, or nationality.”
