Complementary relationships is a form of communication within a family. Communication relfelcts inequality. One person is in a one-up position while the other is in a one-down. (Assertive - submissive, Aggressive-Passive, Energetic - Lazy). Each reinforces the other's position. Symmetrical relationships exist when the communication is based on equality; the behavior of one person mirrors the other. These relationships can become competitive.
