Gaining such a relationship could start as easily as you and I are talking, Josie, but it can't be with you, Josie. I wouldn't allow it, you're already a married woman.
This exercise with you, Josie, is just getting my thoughts down, based on true-to-life questions. It's basically role-playing, for whoever might stumble onto this page of this particular Topic.
At some point, once the bona fides have been validated and it is determined that both parties are still interested in a "business merger", I'd be working with the special someone as to how to sort through what we each have, put it all into reasonable order and determine where our "business" should operate from. Relocation would then need to be planned, including whether I could stay on my current pension or convert it to whatever is meaningful wherever the relocation place ends up being.
For me, regular worship at a local Kingdom Hall in easy walking distance is a given. All the meetings year round, year-in, year-out. And I'm an expressive singer. So, I'd be keen on the partner to be zealous like me, so that it's evenly yoked. If we're already of like-mind and like-habits, then it would be natural to visit one another, even unannounced, to confirm the proposition.
Once the merger has taken place, then maintenance would be as straight-forward as establishing the merger in the first place. Just principled, working through the issues always including the mate. We'd work through the issues based on the wisdom gained from applying Bible principles, as exemplified in WT publications.
