Introduction and the 2 x 2 model
In The Compatibility Code three full pages are devoted to describe and explain the give-give relationship. This model represents a foundation for successful relationships. We will not reproduce here the text from those pages (go buy the book if you haven't already!) but we will reproduce the 2 x 2 matrix and the identification of what each quadrant represents. Then we will (as the title of this prescript suggests) provide additional detail about how this model works.
