Inner couple, gender identity and sexual identity

We have all heard of the feminine and the masculine, sometimes called Yin and Yang, respectively. This dimension of our being is often taken lightly because we don't realize how essential it is in the development of our personality, in the construction of our gender identity and our sexual identity. How is this inner couple formed? What is the role of the parental couple in its construction? Are there other factors that can contribute to balancing or unbalancing these polarities? Can this inner couple have a force capable of influencing the structuring of gender identity and sexual identity? Finally, how can the inner couple manifest itself in the formation of a romantic couple?

Through explanations, studies, and comparisons, the dimension of the inner couple is explored on the physical, psychic, psychological, and spiritual levels.
