Hi (……………),
Continuingonfromlastweek.
Generallywhencouplesare havingtroublesintheirrelationship,theyreachastalemate.One says,
whyshouldIstart as I have givensomuch,while the otherhasa similarresponse.
Ultimately, forthingstochange,one needstotake the initiative.One of themneedstostartif there
isto be a reaction.
A fewmore differences:
Anotherdifference betweenmenandwomenisthe factthatafteran argument,a womanneedsto
hearthe word“I’m sorry,”and that youmeanit,while the mangenerallywantstomake love.How
oftenhave youguyswantedto make love withyourpartnerafteran argument?Andwhatshe is
thinkingis,are youkiddingme?We’ve justarguedandyouwantto be intimate withme.Youguys
haven’tapologisedandbeenforgivenyet.
Anotherdifference ismenare visual andwomenare psychological.ThisIswhymenlove seeingtheir
partnerwearinglingerie,etc.womenlove tohearnice thingsaboutthem.
Afterintimacy,aman wantsto sleep,whereasawomanawakensandwantsto talk.For men,this
desire forsleepishormonal andlastsforabout45 seconds,andif you can keephimawake forthat
time….he’ll stayawake.
Anotherthing.Menwantto make love inthe morningwhentheirhormone level are attheirhighest.
Womenprefertomake love inthe eveningwhentheirhormonesare attheirpeak.
How manyof youcan relate if I share that a man reacts sexually,immediately,whileittakesa
woman45-60 minutestofeel aroused?A manis like abunchof dry leavesandawomanis I islike
charcoal.When youmake love toa woman,ittakeshertime.
So whatdo we do aboutthese differences?Youdon’ttake itpersonally.
Thisis whyyouwon’tneedcounselling.BecausewithmyProgramsyou’ll seethingalotmore
objectively.Youwill seethingsfromyourpointof view andalsomore clearlyfromyourpartners,
and have that greaterlevel of understandingandwisdomwhichyou’ll gainfromexperience.
The way to winthisgame of differencesandgetthe bestresultsisby — compromise.
Yet youfirstneedtoknowwhat yourpartnerwants andthengive itto them.
One of the worstthingsyoucan do is trade-inyourcurrentpartnerfora new one,because we all
have faultsandvirtues.Idon’tcare whoyou can thinkof,and everyone hassome positiveaspectsas
well asnegative aspectstotheirpersonalityandbehaviour.Soif youare thinkingaboutdropping
2. your currentpartnerfor someone else,thatsomeoneelse willjusthave adifferentsetof faultsand
virtues,soyoumightas well stickwithyourcurrentpartner.
Why womenare more inhibitedwithintimacythanmen:
Private partsfor menare givennames.Forwomen — nothing.Once Ihearda womansay she had a
treasure box yeteventhatsuggestssomethingdeep,hiddenandburied.
Men are generallymuchmore comfortablewiththeirbodiescomparedtowomen.Itisupto the
man to showhispartnerhowto enjoyintimacy.
Most often,one isthe teacherand the otheris the student.
She will teach herman kindness,caring,tenderness,patience andunderstanding.He willteachher
howto enjoyherbodyand intimacy.
Otherwise,theywon'tenjoyeachother.
Who here of the menhasn’tasked,whatdoesa womanwant?Letme unravel the mysteryinone
sentence…

Finally,forthisweek,we will coverone of the mainthingsIhearfrompeople aboutthisinformation
and that is— I don’tfeel it.
My response is — if youdon’tfeel it,actas if youdo.
