a physically unhealthy person can still participate in healthy exersize.
you see, if two individuals in a relationship do not try to work towards each other, end of the story. It doesn't matter if both parties are healthy. however, the opposite is true when both are willing to cooperate. so individual healthiness is not a required elemante.
also, another way of looking at it is, we all have "dark sides", an unhealthy individual may have more of dark side, or had not developed a healthy strategy to cop with it. the process of growth is not only to live as a seperate individual, but to live healthily as a CONNECTED individual. by exploring the dark sides, one can find healthy strategy to cop, thus create a healthy bonding.
