In any relationship there are usually 6 people involved:
1. The person you imagine yourself to be
2. The person your partner imagines him/her self to be
3. The person you imagine your partner to be
4. The person your partner imagines you to be
5. The person you really are
6. The person your partner really is.

So, with all of these people, there is certainly a lot of room for attachment. The closer these people resemble each other, the better the relationship will be. But if you are attached to, say, the way we only imagine ourselves and each other, then there will be problems. Attachment requires two parts. So, the more 'one' you become with your partner, the more that love becomes an expression of that oneness and not about attachment.
