Yes your partner should support you and vice versa however, it is important to have a social support system outside of this partnership as well. A lot of times you need someone you can talk to about your partner. Or there are unfortunate times where you lose your partner. And sometimes you partner is just not going to get you.
I think the point of the article is that it's supposed to be more mutual.
In these examples, one partner spends a ton of time and money on self help books, therapists etc to deal with things and the other partner simply uses them. Doesn't sound like balanced/sustainable relationships.
