Things I Have Learned About Relationships. Part II

Here are some more lessons and concepts learned by me, my clients and friends in the process of attracting and creating great relationships. Which one resonates with you and if applied would immediately change your relationship for the better?

Sexual intimacy has very little to do with attractiveness and everything to do with emotional intimacy and trust.

Women rarely appreciate money, and assistance as a substitute for emotional intimacy.

If your partner continuously says, "There is nothing wrong with me, our problems are all your fault", move on!

This is not a dress rehearsal - this is your life and your relationship is in progress. When will you start creating it the way you want it to be?

You are not your parents. There is no reason your relationship or life should look like theirs.

Rather than trying to get needs met by a partner, give yourself what you need.

It's much easier to be yourself than being "what you think" others want you to be.

Even when someone loves you, they will still look out for their interests first.

Being a people pleaser is not an effective way to create good relationships.

If you always take care of someone, you take away their power. They will resent you for it.
