knowing people scary
I invite people to examine their lives without negativity, knowing that it's scary, but that not doing it is even scarier.
relationship real heart
The more connections you and your lover make, not just between your bodies, but between your minds, your hearts, and your souls, the more you will strengthen the fabric of your relationship, and the more real moments you will experience together.
children giving healthy
The greatest gift you and your partner can give your children is the example of an intimate, healthy, and loving relationship.
crazy men years
Men aren't the way they are because they want to drive women crazy; they've been trained to be that way for thousands of years. And that training makes it very difficult for men to be intimate.
real thinking meals
When you're used to getting just a piece of bread for a meal, you don't realize that you can ask for a plate of pasta. You have never seen a plate of pasta. You don't even know it exists. So, to ask for it is totally out of your reality. Hopefully, at some point, either someone shows you a plate of pasta, you read about it, or you hear about it enough so that it becomes real, and it's not just a fantasy anymore, and then you start thinking "Hey, I want that pasta."
may life-is healed
May all that is not love within us and without be healed. May all that is love within us and without us be revealed. May every day of our lives be lived in love.
commitment love-relationship attention
When you make a commitment to a relationship, you invest your attention and energy in it more profoundly because you now experience ownership of that relationship.
women sensitive-man way
Men are just as sensitive, and in some ways more sensitive, than women are.
happiness looks surrender
When I look for happiness, I lose it. When I stop looking, and surrender to where I am, I find it.
gratitude prayer constant
When you live with constant gratitude, your life will become a living prayer.
addiction common moments
All addictions have one thing in common - they numb you out to what is happening in the moment.
needs victim codependent
in all codependent relationships, the rescuer needs the victim as much as the victim needs the rescuer.
change yellow red
One of the most courageous things we do is change. If everyone says you're wonderful every time you wear a red dress, and you change to yellow, that takes courage.
waste fields world
when your field is architecture, you go visit the great cathedrals of the world. My field was relationships. I got married many times. I was practicing. I didn't date much; I just would get married. I thought, why waste time?
