A short YouTube monologue by Vishen Lakhiani giving relationship advice: using a geometric metaphor (parallel lines vs. focused lines) he argues couples should adopt a shared/common goal rather than policing or focusing solely on each other. He claims that focusing on a shared purpose helps sustain relationships and enables accomplishing things together.

If two lines are moving parallelly, they go for infinity. But if they're focused on each other, they will cross and they'll go far away from each other. Same way in any relationship. If you want that to stay forever, you should have a common goal and not focus on each other or police on each other. If your focus is only on each other, you know, one day you will be honey, and next day you will be bitter. You see? So, but with an understanding, with a common goal for each of you, you move on. And then you will see that you will be able to accomplish things better and the relationship is sustained.
