What are the greatest contributions both men and women give to a relationship? How are they the same, and how are they different in contributions?

Generic answer- each provides support and stability to one another. I’d say it really depends on the individual, but women are probably better at noticing details in how to improve one’s life and surroundings. I think men are usually good at expressing gratitude and agreeing to compromise. I think women are more likely to help with schedules, routine, encourage self-care and have powerful communication skills. I think men are skilled at dropping what they’re doing to help out, being “chill”, having a sense of humor, and being the “provider” role in traditional relationships.
I think that it truly comes down to the individuals. No one is good at everything, and te right match will simultaneously challenge and support each other.
Have you ever heard of Plato’s philosophy of platonic love? From Wikipedia: “Platonic love, as devised by Plato, concerns rising through levels of closeness to wisdom and true beauty, from carnal attraction to individual bodies to attraction to souls, and eventually, union with the truth.”
