Since announcing my upcoming program on passion and intimacy, I've received quite a few emails from people asking me some questions about it.

Instead of responding to these questions individually, I'm going to post my answers here--that way, you can benefit from the answers too.

So here's a selection of questions, along with my answers:

Q. "Will your upcoming program be expensive?"
A. The program will be very affordable--less than a session of sex/relationship therapy, less than a romantic holiday in Paris, and certainly much less than a painful divorce! Let's face it, a healthy sex life is one of the cheapest forms of entertainment you can get in these trying times, and it's also one of the most fulfilling.

Q. "My partner is not open to working things out. How would your program change that?"
A. I've helped thousands of ailing relationships over the years, and that includes some very stubborn individuals. Trust me, I know where you're coming from. I also know that even if they don't seem open to change, or if they've tried other 'solutions' in the past with no success, your partner will open up after going through mine. My unique techniques and approaches go beyond conventional psychological methods, and they have an extremely high success rate.

Q. "I'm too shy to seek help for such an intimate issue!"
A. And that's precisely why you should use my program! This is the Internet, and your identity will remain completely anonymous to me. Unlike sex therapy, you don't need to face a person you barely know. Unlike medication, you don't need to approach a doctor or pharmacist. Unlike buying a book, you don't even need to walk into a shop and face a cashier. No one needs to know about this but YOU.

Q. "I'm single/not in love. What could I get out of your program?"
A. My program will help you manifest the right partner into your life, and keep them there. I want you to experience fulfilling, lasting intimacy and passion--not just fleeting moments of love that leave you feeling empty and unsatisfied. Even if you've been single for years, the insights in my program could be the key to helping you find that special someone. They've already helped countless others, and now it's your turn.

My program will be out tomorrow, May 27th at 10:00AM (EST). Get ready for it! An email from me will be arriving in your inbox in about 24 hours!

You'll hear from me soon,

Now we are at the third and final Passion Pledge.

But before we begin, did you commit to the first two? What sort of results did you get?

The third Passion Pledge is perhaps the most powerful. And it may also be the most challenging.

The Intimacy Exercise

.

This may be something you're not used to. And if that's the case, trust me--you must get used to it, because it's an irreplaceable ingredient to a lifetime of intimacy and passion.

Now here's what you do:

Talk to your partner about your sex life. Don't beat around the bush, don't cover it up with analogies, and get ready to be as honest and open as possible.

• Ask them if they've been enjoying it.
• Ask them if there's anything they think could make it better.
• Ask them if they'd like to do it more often.

Listen to their answers, and give your own opinions. Be honest, but remember to be sensitive to their feelings. Refrain from talking in an accusatory tone.

Remember, you love each other. You're a team, and you're doing this to make each other happier, more fulfilled individuals.

If there's a problem, talk about how you can work together to fix it.

If there's no problem, talk about how you can make things even better.

The solution may not always be immediately visible, but that doesn't mean there isn't one.

When two people are willing to give their all, there will always be a solution.

Being open with one another is an important first step to regaining a passionate relationship.

The next step, which I guarantee will energize your relationship with endless passion and intimacy, is coming soon. You'll discover it once you start my program, which will be released at 10:00AM (EST) on the 27th of May.

I'll be in touch.

Burt

I hope you've made the commitment to using the Passion Pledges.

Remember, it's a very important step before you start using my upcoming program, and it's a great kickstart to regaining the intimacy and passion in your relationship.

So now that we're done with Passion Pledge number one, we'll move on to the second one. And this one is perhaps even simpler than the first.

The Compliment Exercise

.

Think about something you could say to your partner that would make them know you love, admire and appreciate them.

It could be a physical complement. For example, you could tell them you've always loved the way their eyes sparkle when they smile. Or how even after all these years, their legs are still as sexy as ever

It could also be a complement on their talents or abilities. If they cook, you could remind them you absolutely love the food they make. If they work in an office, you could tell them you admire the dedication it must take to get all that work done in one day.

The more specific you are with your complement, the better.

Don't say something that could come across as insincere. Your complement should be about your partner as a person, so instead of saying "Nice shoes honey," you could say "I love your taste in shoes. You know exactly what to pick to make yourself look even more gorgeous."

A complement works best when your partner is relaxed. Try this exercise at a time when both of you are at ease, which could be during breakfast, during a night out, or even when you're getting ready for bed.

All you have to do is get their attention, look into their eyes, and most importantly, say it like you mean it.

Who knows, your partner might give you a nice reward for it

Remember, my program will be ready for you at 10:00AM (EST) on May 27th. Until then, keep yourself busy with the Passion Pledges, and look out for the signs of intimacy and passion flowing back into your relationship.

The third and final Passion Pledge will be up tomorrow.

Burt

It'll take me some time to go through all the questions you asked in the previous blog post, but I know you need help so I've prepared something for you.

It's an exercise I call The 3 Passion Pledges, and it's the first step you must take before you get my upcoming program at 10am (EST), on the 27th of May.

It has helped a number of my close friends improve their relationship by leaps and bounds, and I'm sure it'll do the same for you.

All you have to do is complete 3 simple tasks over the next 3 days. Don't worry, they won't be too hard. I'm not going to ask you to rent an airplane and paint your lover's name across the sky

So let's get started. Pledge number one is oh-so-easy, but when done right will undoubtedly put a grateful smile on your partner's face...

The Mindfulness Exercise

First, spend 5 minutes thinking about what challenges your partner faces in his or her life.

• Do they have a stressful job?
• Do they have to go through heavy traffic, or a busy commute every day?
• Are they constantly bogged down with house chores?
• Kids?
• Health issues?

Once you've identified these challenges, pick one (preferably the one they seem bothered about most), and talk to them about it.

Don't overcomplicate things. All you have to do is find an appropriate time, when he or she is relaxed, look into your partners eyes (and I mean really look into their eyes) and start the conversation with a simple statement.

A statement like "It must be tiring for you to travel that distance every single day."

Or "The kids sure can be a handful sometimes, eh?"

Trust me. Even if it's a plain statement about a daily occurrence, they'll appreciate the fact that you noticed.

The next step is LISTEN. They will most likely open up about the issue, and this is where empathy comes into play.

Be supportive. Listen to what they're saying, and offer solutions or suggestions whenever possible.

Make sure they realize that you know where they're coming from. If the challenge they're facing stems from a fault of their own, gently offer advice. Nobody likes to be talked down to.

And what do you do if they don't open up about the issue? Just tell them you understand what they're going through, and that you're willing to help them if they need it. At the very least that'll give them some food for thought.

And that's all there is to it! Like I said, this is an essential step to take before you start using my upcoming program, so I sincerely hope you'll give it a try. It's so simple that if you can't commit to this, I can safely say you are NOT committed to having a passionate and intimate relationship.

I'll be back with the next Passion Pledge tomorrow. Let me know how this one went for you in the comments section.

I'm very concerned about the results from my latest poll.

Here they are (figures are approximate, and are calculated based only on respondents who are currently in a relationship):

Category 1--you love your partner, and enjoy an intimate and passionate sex life:

30%

Category 2--you love your partner, but are considerably lacking in the intimacy department:

55%

Category 3--you have major issues with your partner, and are on the verge of breaking up:

15%

It seems clear to me now that a huge majority of people are not enjoying the kind of intimacy they should.

I can't say I'm surprised after hearing about similar results from the seminar my friend attended. But please, take it from me:

This situation cannot continue.

As I said in my previous blog post--without a healthy sex life, your life will never be truly fulfilled.

Let me clarify that statement, because I saw some comments from people on my previous blog post mentioning they or their partners were incapable of having sex, or they had made a decision to remain celibate for personal or religious reasons.

When I say your life will never be truly fulfilled, I'm referring to those who are perfectly capable of having a healthy sex life, but for one reason or another, are leaving it out of their lives.

People tend to give many reasons for this. Some blame their age. Some say they've been married for too long. Some say they've lost interest in sex. And the list goes on and on and on...

Now forgive me for being blunt, but none of these excuses are valid. Not one bit.

If you have a partner, and you're physically capable of intimacy, you have absolutely no excuse not to be enjoying one of life's greatest pleasures.

I know intimacy is not always easy, so I've decided to come up with a program to help you overcome all of these excuses, and start enjoying mind-blowing sex, every day for the rest of your life.

And even if you're single, don't feel left out. This program will help you manifest the perfect relationship that starts with amazing passion and intimacy.

I'll be releasing my program on Wednesday, May 27th at 10:00AM (Eastern Standard Time), so prepare yourself and keep your eyes peeled for updates

In the meantime, I'd like to know what problems you're facing in your sex life. Is there a lack of passion? Have you lost interest? Is your partner making things difficult?

Let me know in the comments section below. I'll be answering the most pressing questions I receive from you here and including them as an added bonus when you get my upcoming program on May, 27th.

I sincerely hope you'll take this chance to ask me anything, no matter how private or intimate it may be. Remember, your identity will remain completely anonymous, and it's not every day you get to ask these sort of questions anonymously.

Looking forward to hearing from you, I'll be in touch soon.

After attending a seminar by one of the top personal development gurus in the world, my friend recounted to me this story.

In the middle of the seminar, the guru asked everyone who was either married or in a relationship to stand up.

He then asked them to pick one of three categories they felt their relationship fell into:

Category 1 was those who loved their partners, and enjoyed intimate and passionate sex lives.

Category 2 was those who loved their partners, but were considerably lacking in the intimacy department.

Category 3 was those who were on the verge of breaking up.

The result?

• 10 percent of people picked Category 1.
• 10 percent of people picked Category 3.
• And a whopping 80 percent of people picked Category 2!

I was alarmed to say the least by these results.

If they're at all indicative of everyone else in the world, this means 8 in 10 people out there has a poor sex life.

I don't mean to make you uncomfortable by bringing up this subject, but believe me--you can be as successful, enlightened, happy and healthy as humanly possible, but if you're not enjoying mind-blowing sex with your partner on a regular basis, your life will never be truly fulfilled.

Because relationships are the most important part of anyone's life.

It doesn't matter how old you are or how long you've been together. Intimacy should last a lifetime, whether you're in your 20's, 50's, or even 80's.

And yes, in case you were wondering, I'm doing great in that department.

So now, let me ask you the exact same question that guru did to his audience.

Please answer with total honestly. Your identity will remain anonymous.

You'll be hearing from me soon.
