While I understand the analogy with a new "job," the point is that for me it is a relationship not a job. I prefer to think of many of the things as being "getting to know one another." In a good relationship, we all try to do things that make our SO happy. After all, doesn't a d-type "learn" what signals and ways of doing things gets the best response from their s-type? Some respond well to punishment, others to positive reinforcement. Of course these things should be discussed prior to entering the relationship, but the point is it is still "learning."
Of course it is. My post was mostly in response to your assertion that animals are trained, people aren't.
That said, call it "getting to know each other", "teaching", "learning", "instruction", or "training"; it all pretty much comes down to the same thing, no matter what term is used.

Being a bit anal retentive about things like folding, I can't imagine anyone telling me they have a more efficient way of doing it (yes it is pathetic that I have done a lot of trial and error to find a way to fold that makes things fit best in the space available). I think a big thing for me is that the end result is what is important in most tasks. I cook many things without measuring, it isn't necessary for the recipes. So for someone to come along and try to "train" me to measure things out because that is how they want it is just micro managing to me. Realistically in cooking, you want a tasty meal on the table, the process shouldn't be as important.
Which is cool for you (it is for me, too), but some people on both sides of the kneel get off on things like micromanagement, exacting protocols, and the like.
