do you really pick your father/mother as your mate?

below my two cents about the psychoanalytic idea of one always choosing to love the person most resembling one's caretaker or as more refined versions of this theory claim - the most dysfunctional member of one's family.

i happen to agree with this to a point... BUT .... I also have my own personal (spiritual) explanation for it. ... why is this the case for so many people? why is it that we choose a mate that is like the most dysfunctional member of our family and more often than not try to fix him/her...or - more passively - hope for a change?

i think, we have this tendency built in for a reason. i think, it's god's way of balancing things out...of trying to fix things...of making people help certain people others would avoid. and they are making a change....even if it is just infinitely small, for i believe true love changes a person. ...

of course - this is an incredibly wild theory. one of my many spiritual theories that spring to mind trying to explain a certain phenomena we try to make sense of.
