"Keeping Your Love Alive" during our fascinating teleclass with Brigitte Mars.
Relationships are like plants. They thrive when cared for; they wither when
neglected. To maintain a commitment to a lover, we must learn to tend our
relationships as if they were gardens, cultivating the flowers of spiritual
fulfillment and the fruits of earthly nourishment. Brigitte will go into how to do this.
Of the 25 principles of a strong relationship from Brigitte's book, these
are my favorites:
- Understand that relationships take work
- Respect each other's sexual energy
- Practice romance
- Communicate
- Develop mutual interests; allow space for individual interests
- Make a commitment to daily appreciation
- Praise in public, criticize in private
- Express, rather than accuse
- Give gifts
- Be open to therapy
- Be responsible for your own happiness
