In Romantic Dynamics, Responsibility is an action and character virtue in one, correlating with the exact same amount of Authority that one inherently possesses to the same degree, especially in the third phase of courtship (partnership, Intellectual Attraction.) Example: 80 % of the responsibility taken on exactly equals the amount of authority they possess and which the partner must surrender, accept and encourage for the greater good of the team.

Therefore, like Authority, Responsibility is a combination of the Skill of Compromise with the trait (or Commonality) of Intelligence.

Compromise as a skill of commitment, takes us into a whole new arena of study, in that as partners, we will have grown the maturity to accomplish more that just curiosity about each other's inner workings, and more than just communication about our private and joint goals in life. Now we are ready to start truly aligning with each other in a more strategic, and in Romantic Dynamics terms, "synthetic" way.

This means that mature, advanced Compromise as a set of skills does not just amount to "sacrifice" of our personal goals (which would be deadly to any relationship, "killing the spirit" of our personal dreams.) Instead, it is a mature effort to truly pick through what aspects of one's personal dreams can be aligned into a common goal, and what other parts of them might at least be avoided in terms of interference from the other partner's dreams.
