As a complement to one’s own personality, it is important for the preservationist to have a partner who is able to commit to the common cause while being attentive to the care and preservation of what they both want to preserve. Risk avoidance and sustainability are important to the need for security. Planlessness or unpredictable actions fuel fears. For the partnership, too, one wants to be able to rely on each other at all times. The preserver needs consistency.
