Intimacy
Why do we even care to share our hearts, feelings, thoughts and lives with someone we care deeply about?
Why do I want so badly to intimately share myself with thies person?
Know what? That's a question that I've often asked myself a number of times.
I feel that we do this simply because we want the object of our affection to respond to us in that same manner. We give and share our love with them simply because deep down inside our hearts, we crave their love, admiration and affectio...

Anyone who has run a marathon knows about commitment. To compete, the athlete relies on extensive training and physical fitness. But when the initial enthusiasm wanes and the painful, long-distance realities grip the runner's body, it is sheer dedication--commitment to completing what she started--that sustains the runner's motivation as she reaches for the finish line.
A relationship is a lot like running a marathon. There are highs and lows, challenges and rewards, and times when you may w...

Conflict of Libidos?
Libido refers to sexual drive. Over the course of the human life span, libido can increase or decrease depending upon numerous factors. Those factors can be divided into biological, psychological and social.
Of the biological factors, a woman’s menstrual cycle is known to alter libido with increases occurring consistent with ovulation and decreases at or about menstruation. Similarly as hormone levels change and alter during pregnancy, some women may experience ...

This article is about an author who brought up an issue which is not only about romantic dinner recipes. It is about something that goes beyond cooking, and well worth becoming aware of. As the editor and publisher of that author, and the value of that issue, I construed that I must write this article. Read it, then, you be the judge.
This author points out that women are prone to bury their heads in the sand, and they fail at dealing with reality head-on. The author elaborates on one of thos...

I’m confident that you recognize both the importance and the value of love in your life. The benefits of both loving and being loved are widely accepted, but have you considered what it means to be in love? Being in love means different things to different people, but true love revolves around two people sharing an emotionally intimate experience. Sounds good, but how do you get there? Well, emotional intimacy is a special shared relationship, one that is sealed in trust. This seal of trus...

First Be Happy then Make Love!
How often are we depending on and expecting our romantic relationship to make us happy? Or anticipating that when we get into "that great relationship" we will be happy? Of course, romance, relationships and sex can bring tremendous pleasure and joy, but do they fundamentally make a person happy? If you talk to people about this, like Alicia and I do everyday in our coaching practice, you might find (and probably already know) that people associate as much, if not...

How often do you want to make love with your partner? How often does your partner want to make love? Many times the answers to both questions are not in sync. The best answer for your relationship, however, may be found somewhere in between.
When most relationships first begin there is high degree of passion and sexual frequency. The newness of discovering one another as well as the newness of the relationship is the primary contributor. Over time this new-found excitement and intrigue begins...

Have you ever had the experience of facing a situation similar to one you'd been in before, maybe even many times before, and finding that you had changed enough to actually handle it better this time? Well, I just did and I want to share the story with you.
This story is about relationship. Relationships seem to be the "Self-Growth Groups" in my life. They serve as mirrors of both the dark shadows within myself and also for the ways in which I have grown more self-assured and capable.

Intimacy
Although love is the basis for all relationships, it does not in itself create the substance of a relationship.
Although we usually think of a relationship as two people, in truth a relationship can be with family, working colleagues, or friends.
The relationship itself is like a third person, or being …. with its own needs. The relationship – as a being – can get tired, cranky, claustrophobic, but also creative, supportive and empowering.
Other qualities which are cr...

INSIDE/NAKED RELATIONSHIPS
BY JAN DENISE
RELEASE: FRIDAY, JULY 27, 2007
Nobody Is (SET ITAL) Just (END ITAL) A Wife
"Well, I'm just a wife," she said, with apology in her voice.
A wife, according to Webster, is: A female partner in a marriage.
That may not sound like a full-time job, but this wife's responsibilities on a job description would read something like this:
Nurture husband and children; plan, shop for and prepare meals; select and maintain family wardrobes; chauffeu...

You have the power to change your mood at this very moment-to increase your optimism, elevate your energy and enthusiasm, and increase your motivation toward reaching your personal goals. How is this possible?
By sowing the seeds of gratitude.
Research shows that when you increase feelings of gratitude, a domino effect occurs and you begin to experience other positive changes as well, such as increased overall happiness. If you've ever been told to "count your blessings," you should...

Relationships are all about closeness. Taking the risk to open your heart and letting your partner know the real you is the most profound type of sharing. This level of intimacy can be emotionally and spiritually rejuvenating.
A healthy relationship is like a high-wire circus act. Lean too far in any one direction and you’ll topple. This balancing act involves autonomy (maintaining your individual identity, values and goals) and connection (you and your partner share many experi...
