In theory, yes, but in practice... It's obvious from reading around the Forum (and some personal communications) that there are a LARGE number of people who fit into Merrioc's 'two masters' category. It would seem inevitable that at least some of them put their Master/Mistress first.
The more I thought about this, the more I realized that perhaps I was generalizing much in the way others do about 24/7 relationships. I was basing my idea on a very traditional marriage. And not taking into consideration the many dynamics a marriage can take on.
