Our partners are our gifts. They afford us the opportunity to look at ourselves and connect with our deepest heartfelt desires. They can also tap into certain aspects of ourselves that force us to shut down. The only thing that stands in our way of truly gratifying, intimate relationships-sexually and emotionally-is fear.
Fear is what shuts down our capacity to get what we want from our partners. When we are fearful, we are powerless to achieve our dreams and create the kind of intimate, loving relationships that we are seeking. If we can begin to look at our lack of intimacy or sexual fulfillment as something we contribute to-it is possible to change the course of our current relationship or future ones.
