Anon, I wouldn't say I've had experience with 61 in a relationship in the way I think you mean - but I'll say that it sounds promising, sounds like there's lots of authenticity there.

I agree that it sounds promising, but it would be easier if I knew the specific question. 23 is about stripping away appearances, and Karchers line one talks about stabilizing yourself to be ready for what comes. It also says that you should concentrate on your own situation, always worrying about others brings no peace. So it sounds as if there is some anxiety about the relationship, but looking at 2 and 5, I'd say it was unnecessary. 2 talks about answering the call of an immortal soul to its kindred and 5 talks about a spiritual connection that will create deep ties between people. Sounds to me like someone has been very lucky, like maybe they found a soul-mate.
