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

The more knowledge one person has of the other, the greater the intimacy within the relationship.

Be fresh and new when perceiving the other. Always look for the highest first, look for the intrinsic beauty and goodness, for the essence of spirit in your partner.

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

The two partners in a relationship also need to have some similar interests in addition to a similar life view.

One beloved friend reflects the other in an open, trusting relationship.

There might be a lot of physical chemistry within a couple, but without the compatibility of life philosophy and interests then the relationship will likely not be long-lasting.
