Balance of power

Oftentimes, in relationships (if not all the time, but I don't know because I'm only 21 and haven't got the experience to definitively state that) one person has more power than the other. Or, it is a case of one person being dominant, and one being subordinate. Not necessarily in bed, but obviously that could be a part of it. In past years, it was assumed that the male would be the dominant one in the relationship, but now this has obviously changed. So my question is- once these roles are established in any given relationship, are they fixed indefinitely? Or is there the potential to switch them up? If so, how does that happen? I think that this is more evident and/or important at the confusing stages of a relationship- does he like me or not, will she let me sleep with her or not, etc. None of this may actually make any sense or hold a grain of truth, but if it does/is, then answer me this- how specifically do you obtain the power position?
