Over time the energy generated in romance and lovemaking provides the vitality that inspires each partner for enthusiastic creative expression in life.

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.

Give the benefit of the doubt; assume that your beloved's intentions are life-enhancing and positive.

The spark of eros provides color and flavor to delight in our sensuality. Without generating this creative juice, many people feel uninspired and dry in their lives.

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

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.
