A Happy Valentine’s Day to all!!
It’s that of year again when, like Christmas and Easter, our thoughts turn to buying and/or exchanging gifts and pleasantries with people who are very important to us. Particularly on this day, there is a lot of commercialisation and social pressure, particularly on us singles, to find a life partner. Obviously there are benefits to be had from being in a relationship. No doubt about that. Anyway, today, I thought I would share a quick thought on something someone shared with Me a long time ago.
Would you agree that it takes three things to make a relationship work? And would you say that these things are: communication, sex and money?
Our constructed egos are very complex when it comes to the first two. There are defence mechanisms built up over time, unfulfilled fantasises and sexual desires as well as unrealistic fantasies. Not to mention other physical and mental issues. Money can be very problematic because we cannot really do without it in any relationship and a lack of it is often a major cause for stress within the relationship. Unless, of course, you can barter your skills and services in exchange for necessities.
When we can move from the outer surface level of communication to the inner, deeper intimate levels, and when these inner, deeper levels are supported by a strong financial foundation, would you agree that the relationship is bound to be more successful? And that sex has would be much better too?
I wouldn’t say I am perfect or complete when it comes to these three things, though I have learnt a lot from my past relationships. However, I am working on each one to ensure that the next relationship is indeed much more successful than my last one.
Enjoy the rest of your day!
