Igneous? Metamorphic?

I'm trying to remember a quote from a book about relationships where the man tells the woman he can be her rock so that she can be free as a feather or something to that effect.

My google-fu is failing me. Can anybody identify the book and/or supply the quote?

It might be from The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida- it sounds like it, anyway, but I'd read it ages ago after snatching it from the hands of a male buddy of mine.

Response by poster: OK, I found it. The full quote is:

The rock is me. You are the feather. Fly. Let me be constant and steady. Let's hold it all in one heart. Let us balance each other.

It's from The Hard Questions: 100 questions to ask before you say, "I do" by Susan Piver.
