Since this is open to interpretation I'm going to dive in and comment on "significant others"
These are the people that mould us into the person we become, whether through persuasion or through critisism or just by us wanting to be like them. In our desire to please them or to be like them we adopt a personality that is not our real self and this causes us disturbance with our true identity. Without going into a lecture on "actual or ideal self" its far more liberating to use an internal evaluation of who we really are, then our significant others can be enjoyed for who they really are, idividuals whom we do not have to imitate.
Image all of our significant others being JWs, what kind of people would we become? Well we already know the answer to that dont we...robots striving and being forced to be just like them, rather than enjoying our God given individualtiy.
With significant others like these its of little wonder we constantly battle to endure the faith, in reality we were battling for our own identity
