Having a similar outlook on life is the central key for long-term sustainability in any love relationship.

Skillfully engaging in intimate relationships can be one of the most potent spiritual practices.

Flow. Be adaptable. Be sensitive like water, feel the other so you can attune and harmonize with your partner.

Without good communication both verbally and non-verbally, then the love relationship is not sustainable and cannot grow.

Communication within the couple includes the open, clear, and honest sharing of feelings, desires, thoughts, interests, and creative ideas. It is in this sharing of the deepest parts of ourselves with another that true intimacy in the relationship is cultivated.

We seek fulfillment in our lives through heart connection with others. This is our soul's essence of joy, which spontaneously pulses through us, longing to share itself with another.

We all experience pain and suffering, but it is not the quintessential nature of life. Just because the earth turns away from the sun and night occurs doesn't mean that the sun isn't always shining. It might be hard to see sometimes, but goodness and divine beauty can always be found if you adjust your vision just right.
