Yet there was one area of her life that  wasn't working: her love life. She'd been living with her boyfriend for  five years, and although she was ready to get married, he wasn't. His  reason? They fought too much-and unfortunately, he was right. But  something magical happened when she signed up for tango lessons: She  began to appreciate the power of being a partner in a dance for two-and  that letting someone else take the lead from time to time wasn't giving  up, but rather, \u003ci\u003eletting go\u003c\/i\u003e.
