It seems for so many this ideal is reserved for the “happy ever after films” and those “lucky couples” and the harsh reality is nature never really designed us to live alone together in a box called a home.
Why do so many couples seem to get it so wrong and why do others seem to have it all?
From my perspective please don’t be swayed by how good you think other couples relationships are. It seems that many couples are very good at publicly putting on a united front, but the reality is very different behind closed doors, I know they tell me.
The starting point is if a couple communicates their relationship is not how it should be, please know that it’s more likely because the couple don’t have the core skills and tools to build the relationship they want rather than the relationship is wrong.
We are not born with these skills and relationships for life don’t magically happen. The coupe have to take the actions which are most likely to take them to become more connected safely, emotionally and sexually.
This is no different from other parts of life. Wealthy people are not more intelligent than others they have simply learnt a different set of philosophies and skills. People that are fit and healthy are not more intelligent than over weight, unhealthy people they just have a different way of thinking.
The secret to a powerfully connected free and sexually exciting relationship for life is about the way the way we think and the skills they learn based on that thinking.
I have an amazingly connected passionate relationship with Cloe, but this has not happened by accident. I had to learn how to create that possibility through these unique understandings.
One of the biggest challenges is the balance between needing security and the energy that creates sexual connection.
You see both these forces have a the ability to shut the other one down and yet to have a happy relationship for life we need them both.
For example: A person who needs to be in control is doing so because they feel safer this way. The challenge is love, passion and sexual energy don’t work very well in controlled conditions. These energies are a free energies.
So how do we keep them alive?
The starting point is to first know this is the goal?
I’m going to talk about this in more detail in the Masterclass Part 3.
I’m going to be opening up 1-on-1 master classes for couples who are wanting to learn how to reignite their relationship for life. If you are interested to learn more click here.
