Probably one of the biggest reasons Stevie & Lindsey seem to have felt a more pressing need to "prove themselves" to each other, while Christine and John did not, was the fact that Christine was very successful prior to joining FM, and of course John was successful inside and outside of FM before Chris joined.
Because of that "package deal" thing, I imagine there were a lot of little insecurities running around inside of Lindsey & Stevie's heads, and a burning need to prove that they could each make it without the other.
Les is right, Stevie has mentioned this more often that Lindsey has, but Sulumith has a great Lindsey quote on this subject in her signature....
"I fought to prove something to her as well as to myself. You wonder what you gave up in order to prove that."
I've said this before, and my hippie side is totally coming out, but to me, the most impressive thing about both Stevie & Lindsey as people, is their ability to finally, after all the years of rancor, work together, and *want* to do so.
