Love as the foundation of a relationship (marriage), sexual desire and eroticism. Sexual desire will decrease with time. <BR><BR> When looking for a partnership curiosity is an important part of eroticism. Erotic attraction increases the eagerness to get to know other people. As long as partners can still discover something new and everybody is willing to reveal something, erotic attraction remains strong. <BR><BR> Most people in a relationship, think that there are boundaries to knowing the partner. This is a false conclusion as people develop further and so do relationships. This is an important basic prerequisite in a partnership: to further explore the partner and actively deal with him or her. Disappointments are inevitable in the course of a relation. Overcoming conflict and crisis is one of the big challenges in a partnership, but without them there will be no progress. Therefore partners have to disclose themselves during conflicts again and again. Only this lets erotic tension persist and love survive Every relationship is an adventure during which both partners should permanently gain new insight and disclose themselves at the same time. The more this happens the happier and more stable the relation will be. <BR><BR> But people tend to inner inactivity, they have the illusion of completely knowing the other. This leads to unfulfilled desire caused by the demise of eroticism. The relationship loses its dynamic and vitality, as both partners do not try to work on their partnership or to continue to be open and responsive. Erotic appeal completely gets lost, partners become unfaithful and break up. <BR><BR> A partnership can only be kept alive, when both partners let down their guard and talk openly about their problems and solve the conflict. Only this re-injects eagerness and erotic attraction into the partnership. Partners often do not talk about sex enough. This is impossible for many because of fears from earlier disappointments <BR><BR> There are two important fears in relationships: Fear of being completely consumed and the fear of being abandoned. Both partners should be aware that they both have to open up and avoid unconscious fears. A healthy relationship has to have change and progress, so both partners can actually develop. Sex life is very important and most couples do not talk enough about sex. Here openness and patience are necessary as sex is one of the most important fundamentals of a dynamic and happy relationship. <BR><BR><BR> <A HREF="http://www.girlsmeetgentlemen.com"><H1>> back to girlsmeetgentlemen.com</H1></A> <BR><BR> <CENTER><FONT SIZE=-1 >© since 2006</FONT></CENTER> <CENTER><FONT SIZE=-1 >all rights reserved</FONT></CENTER> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <BR> </BODY> </HTML>
