The Top 10 Things I Learned from Being an Identical Twin

Every couple of years the topic of identical twins hits the
front cover of Newsweek. In fact it's about time now--be
watching! Most people find the topic fascinating. The
relationship between identical twins looks good from the
outside; a seamless interface, and they seem to enjoy one
another's company so much.

Research confirms that, indeed, identical twins are more
altruistic to their sibling than fraternal twins (just siblings
born at the same time) or regular siblings. They care about each
other and show it in their actions.

Identical twins also function exceptionally smoothly as a team
and as such are a model for another important "team" -- marital
partners.

Research says having identical genes helps with some of this,
but that the rest is because they spend exponentially more time
together than regular siblings. Putting together my
insider's-knowledge with research, here are some tips for
learning how to have as much fun in your relationship:

1. We're in it for the long haul.

Kids, of course, have to see it that way because they can't
leave, and most of us do commit more to blood relatives, perhaps
because of the "selfish gene" theory (amplified because twins
share the same genes). Whatever the reason, when the thought of
parting simply never occurs, it smooths over a lot of rough
spots in the road. You can focus on "what can we do to get
beyond, over, around, or through this" instead of "I'm outa
here." QUESTION: Every time you don't get along, do you (1) put
a little more weight on that foot that's always halfway out the
door, or (2) consider that 25 years from now, this particular
thing isn't even going to register on the radar screen?

2. Best, best friends.

Twins are notorious for closing rank when attacked from the
outside. When a third person threatens to disturb the
equilibrium, they turn and face the enemy together, with a
united front. Identical twins are usually well-liked (since they
know how to get along), but they don't "trade up".

QUESTION: If someone tries to come in between you and your
spouse -- a mother-in-law, someone who wants to have an affair,
or your savvy teenage daughter who wants to "divide and
conquer," do you (1) take the bait or (2) laugh, because
nothing's going to get between you and your best friend, the
man/woman you married.

3. Let's ...

This is the sweetest word in the English language, when it's
followed by, "Yeah, let's!" "Let's" is the contraction for "Let
us," and is a continual part of twins' lives. "Let's learn how
to dive ... let's make friends with ... let's try that new food
....Want to?" "Yeah, let's!"

There's the underlying assumption that doing it with your buddy
is more fun which applies to cleaning toilets as well as
watching movies! What couples can miss, is that doing things
together is bonding. It may not be as efficient, but, hey,
that's for the workplace. What a married couple can give one
another that no one else can, is time together.

QUESTION: What do you say when the house needs cleaning? (1)
Let's tackle this and then we can go to the movies for a reward.
or your job. or (3) Why should I help you clean the house? You
can do it yourself. or (4) It's more efficient if I do it
myself.

4. All trails lead to ...

At the end of the day, whether you've won or lost the account,
the promotion, the confrontation, the tennis match, who will be
there to celerbate with you or to help you take the blow and
bounce back? QUESTION: Are you there for your partner (1) in
body, because you live in the same house so you gotta show up
(but reading the newspaper and working the remote keeps you
inaccessible), or (2) fully present - emotionally, mentally,
physically and spiritually.

5. What's good for him/her is good for me.

If I helped my twin polish the Chopin piece for the piano
recital and it went well, everyone was happy - mom, dad, the
piano teacher, me, her. The sun shown all around. If she helped
me get the dishes done quicker, everyone was happy and there was
more time to do something fun.

Everyone happy is a description of the forcefield you live in.

QUESTION: Do you (1) Rant and rave about your rights and
entitlements, the Rules of Marriage According to You (or Dr. X),
and who's "doing all the giving" and who's "pathetic". or (2) Do
whatever it takes to keep the sun shining on your communal world
remembering there are not "winners" and "losers" in marriage,
either you both win, or you both lose.

6. Share and share-alike.

In high school, we shared all our clothes. Why? We could do the
math. It's a fact of life that when you share, things multiply
and you get more, not less.

QUESTION:Do you (1) try and commandeer all resources like money
and time for your own pursuits and benefit? Or (2) do the math,
and find that if he succeeds, you succeed, and that a boat you
both can enjoy together might be a better investment than a
hunting lease he'll go to alone.

7. Two heads are better than one.

We moved every three years as my father worked his way up in his
profession. Difficult for any kid, it was greatly cushioned
because we always moved with our best friend. We did it
together. When we hit the new school, we brainstormed about how
to get along with the new kids, who would be the friends to
make, how to handle the English teacher, how to find your way
home ...

QUESTION: Do you (1) Use and appreciate your partner's brains
mentally or (2) Consider it a competition and you've got to be
the smart one, so she can't be. Or (3) Attack him/her every time
he/she "treats you like a kid," "tries to tell you what to do,"
"thinks they know it all" or "dominates" you by sharing their
wisdom and knowledge.

8. Are you there like the Cheshire cat's grin?

Sounds a bit sugary to you, all this togetherness? We fought, oh
yes, probably worse than regular siblings do. So what? The bond
was never broken. With the assumption of "forever" as solid as
it is in childhood, what difference if you fight?

QUESTION: Do you (1) do everything possible to preserve the
peace, including compromise your principles, lose your "self" in
appeasement, withdraw into stony silence rather than "upset"
things, make small, stuff it down and begin the road to
festering resentment, and/or choose a path of continual retreat
from the relationship or (2) fight and make up, and don't make a
memo of it.

9. She said/He said. I know because I took notes

Studies with twins show they have a silent language, usually
understood only by the two of them (and maybe an observant
parent). When I did a study on two twins for graduate school, I
have a pair of twin over to my house to observe them. At one
point they were sitting out back on the porch swing, and
suddenly, without a wordor action I could discern, without even
turning their heads to look at one another, they rose and headed
for the swimming pool together. It was uncanny.

Words are not the most important way we communicate, usually not
the most effective, and definitely not the easiest way. 90% of
communication is nonverbal. To build this nonverbal attunement,
you have to spend a lot of time in close proxixmity with the
other person.

QUESTION: Do you (1) Talk like Venus and Mars and cause galactic
bad feelings? Or (2) Touch her cheek with tenderness, press your
hand upon his forearm to center him when he's angry, give him
thatmlook when his mother starts acting weird again, to let him
know you understand (what words can't say) and that he'll be
fine, have a secret signal for when one of you has had it and
it's time to go home?

10. Yeah, but it's easy when you're the same sex, and kids.

No, same-sex couples have their problems, and childhood's easier
than what?

However, we don't get along as easily now. Why? Because we live
far apart and don't get to see each other much. I don't read her
as well as I used to. We argue more.

Do you (1) give your relationship token time, energy, and being
together? Or (2) spend so much time together than you're deeply
attuned?

Boat Twin

One engine or two engines on a 20 tonne displacement boat ?

Is the single engine more efficient ? Can one engine be used to drive two props. ? Will twin engines provide better manouverability ? The boat is to be used offshore and on inland waterways.

There are many variables to be considered. Yes a single is slightly more efficient but you do sacrifice a margin of safety (not likely both engines would fail at the same time) and close quarters handling. Thrusters can help overcome the handling issue. It comes down to what you can afford and personal preference. I prefer twin engines. There was an article in a trawler magazine about a boat that the owner pulled both engines out and replaced them with a single diesel generator that provided power for twin electric motors. It worked well for him and gave the economy of a single with the handling of twins.
