It's always about growth, isn't it? Love, sex, money, all of it.
Nothing stops growing, even in death. Transformation is the norm, growth is the power and flow of everything. And it's within relationships between each other that we all grow into what we're eventually destined to be: fully actualized, independent and beautiful beings, sentient and compassionate, wise and passionate, loving and complete.
Our most intimate relationships are rife with lessons, perceptions, travails, achievements and troubles around love, sex, spirituality, even finances and housekeeping. All of it is about reaching our most complete and actual selves, and celebrating our achievements with the universe that is always there encouraging the journey.
While there may be times when we seem to want nothing more than to "go it alone," in fact there may be times when we feel it's simply not possible to do it any other way, that's simply not true. We're social beings, and our realities are so intertwined with each other that they sometimes become confused, tangled and frustrating messes.
This is why you're reading this, and why I hope you will eventually add to the discussion with your perceptions, trip-ups and pains, as well as achievements and victories - along with those of your partners and friends who are on a journey with you. As Examiners, we all hope to help guide our readers with expertise in our field, whatever that may be. As a Relationship Examiner, it's my goal to help untangle some of the perceptions that may be either keeping you from finding a satisfying relationship, or stuck in an unsatisfying or unhealthy one, or simply entangled in a situation that's influencing yours. I want to use my experience, knowledge and perceptions to help talk you through any of these things, and help you get back on the right track to your perfect evolotion, and in many cases your patner's.
In keeping with the inevitability of change, I've updated the way my Examiner column works, and added a few tools to help us to begin conversations, and to increase communication and action. Ive opened up a Twitter account to allow you the ability to send me questions or responses in real time. Follow me for Real Advice, in real time.
I've also opened a Real Advice Examiner page on Facebook, where you can post reactions or add to conversations, and pull from the well of activity that the social netwrok provides. Become a fan, and join the party!
No matter how you choose to do it, send me your questions, your pet peeves, your gripes about your partner or your situation. Ask me about your partner's fetishes - old or new - or about your disappointment with her lack of fetishes.
Let's talk about why he feels like making love too much, or not enough, and what to do about it.
If you're concerned that he can't keep a dime in his pocket long enough to warm it up, or that his lack of a career is bringing you both to the edge of the poorhouse (especially in today's environment), let's talk about how to make it work. For the both of you, but most importantly for each of you.
Bringing together two families into one? There aren't too many achievements that are harder to pull off successfully than the "Brady Bunch Syndrome." Let me help you sort it out, using my experience (I've been doing it for just over 20 years).
Men, send me your insights, gripes, and consternations. I've asked this before, but who knew that guys were also unwilling to ask for direction in their lovelives? Let's get to the bottom of these things!
I'm looking forward to getting some dialogue going. Keep your eyes on this column. I think you'll like it!
