Maya Angelou
Sex is a sacred act of
giving and receiving.
It's sad and often detrimental
that we're offered zero guidance about one of the most complicated aspects of
being human: our sexuality. We learn from pop culture, peers, and now,
increasingly, from pornography, that sex is something you use to gain approval,
validation or security. Healthy sex is none of those things. Loving sex is an
expression of love, an act of connection where you practice the arts and skill
of giving and receiving.
Your first blueprint for
intimate partnership informs how you approach your marriage.
If you witnessed a healthy
marriage growing up, you're much more likely to naturally implement the
principles and actions required for marriage success.
On the other hand, if you
witnessed a marriage characterized by criticism, nagging, distance, arguing, or
abuse, you’ll have to fight your template at every turn.
It’s not easy work, but just
because it’s work doesn’t mean you’re with the wrong person. If you’re with a
loving partner, the work is a sign that you’re pushing up against your
dysfunctional or limited blueprint and it’s an invitation to create a new
legacy of healthy partnership.
