And experience shows that in spite of all the misunderstandings and sometimes deadly fights among them, man and woman are inseparable.

A male-female relationship manifests itself in two basic forms, of which the first is: ordinary friendship which demands of us respect and charity for all people of the other or opposite sex regardless of whether or not we are sexually attracted to them. And the second one is: deep and intimate friendship which is very personal and between a specific man and a specific woman. It engages all our feelings and forces: physical, psychological and spiritual. And it demands of the two individuals involved, some form of explicit commitment verbal or written to each other.
