Discarding the myth of the perfect relationship
Having problems in a relationship does not mean it is the wrong relationship or the wrong person. Challenges and difficulties are simply part of romantic relationship, human experience, and living in the modern world. It is through facing challenges and difficulties as a team that couples develop trust, bond, confidence. This is how relationships grow and love deepens.
Speaking from the heart
Speaking from the heart is about revealing our truth and being fully received by our partner. When we let our hearts speak, a deeper version of ourselves comes forward. Words from the heart are simple and profound. They touch our listener and draw them in close to us. When one heart opens, both hearts open. The open heart is the vehicle for new experience and intimacy.
Creating the cocoon
The cocoon is a special place we can create with our partner. It is warm, soft, and sweet. In it, we are protected, safe, and secure. With our partner, we feel connected and together--known, accepted, appreciated, and loved. It is a place where we can retreat from the world, and nourish, recharge, and regenerate.
There are many little secrets to relationship sucess that we learn along the way. Here are a few to get you started.
