Imago relationship theory offers an even more diabolical version of this (because the very things we are attracted to in our partners tend to be the things that then most upset us about them). My husband and I participated in an amazing couples session on that in our church once, and I see it at work everywhere now (yes, in TnT too).

There's free info on it here, but now you have to register for it. http://gettingtheloveyouwant.com/free-resources

Sheesh,
I was interested until they started talking about therapy...unless its beer based.
I have found that the books "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" handled most all of the stuff the wife and I have encountered in our 19 years. Another great title is "The Five Love Languages" to help you stay in tune with your sweetie.
