We’re already halfway through January, and I wonder if you, like so many, have set goals for yourself for the New Year. But I ask you, “What are the goals for your intimate relationship, current or future?”

We so often hope and pray that things will change, and faith is monumentally important! However, many times we overlook that it is in our own power to change our relationships and/or our circumstances by changing the one person we can change: ourselves!

To have a successful intimate relationship with your loved one or yourself, you want to consider achieving some of these goals this year:

• Really get to know your loved one from their perspective and your own (yes, that means stepping out of your own map of reality into theirs and explore their inner territory).

• Do you really understand your loved one’s deep inner values and needs in the order of their importance, not your own? …. and do they match with your own?

• Do you actually know your own needs and life values .. or do you live according to someone else’s?

• No matter how hard you try to work through issues and good intentions, do you get stuck and sabotage yourself at the same points over and over?

• Have you been struggling with any of the following problems?

o Low self-esteem and negative self thoughts
o Depressed moods
o Anxiety concerns, constant worries
o Loneliness
o Anger
o Sexual issues
o Addictive behaviours?

• Have you been dreaming of your relationship full of fun and sizzle (again), but have no clue how to go about it?

Dealing With a Sexless Marriage:

Sex may be on television, in the theaters and advertising, but it’s not in the homes of 20 million American couples who are in sexless marriages.

Once a taboo topic, sexless marriages are getting more attention, in part because so many couples are complaining about the lack of sexual activity in their unions, according to one gynecologist.

It’s an epidemic, Dr. Hilda Hutcherson said.

In a sexless marriage, couples only are sexually intimate 10 or fewer times a year.

“To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,
to cry is to risk appearing sentimental and soft,
to reach out to another is to risk involvement,
to show up and expose your feelings is to risk exposing your inherent self,
to place your ideas, your dreams, your desires before people is to risk their loss,
to love is to risk you might not be loved in return,
to live is to risk dying,
to show strength is to risk showing weakness,
to do is to risk failure,
the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing,
the person who risks nothing gets nothing, has nothing, is nothing,
he may avoid suffering, pain, sorrow, but he does not learn, he does not grow, he does not live, he does not love, he has sold, forfeited freedom, integrity, he is a slave, chained by safety, locked away by fear,
because, only a person who is willing to risk not knowing the result
is free” (Anonymous)

It’s Saturday night, or your ‘Date Night’, as some couple have them, or any other night to go out with your man, you have been looking forward to with great anticipation. You even may have bought yourself a new dress, nursing a secret dream that he would swoon all over you …..

You’ve spent the last hour shaving your legs, getting your hair just right to compliment your glowingly beautiful make-up and walk into the living room to find him in his old blue-jeans slouched on the sofa engrossed and entranced in the latest game on the screen in front of him with not the slightest interest going anywhere fast!

What is your first reaction?
