Rate Your Relationship 99

picture-1
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.

How would you rate your relationship?

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

You’ll be hear­ing from me soon.

    Burt Goldman My name is Burt Gold­man. I’m one of those “lucky peo­ple” who dis­cov­ered a secret early in life. For the last 50 years, I have been trav­el­ing the world and meet­ing and study­ing spir­i­tual mas­ters from every inch of our planet. Now, at the age of 82, I’m ready to share with the world what I have learned. I started this blog to be able to share with you my most valu­able teach­ings and insights I have gained over the past few decades. Here, you’ll find plenty of valu­able infor­ma­tion on med­i­ta­tion, energy heal­ing, spir­i­tu­al­ity, and my lat­est rev­e­la­tion, Quan­tum Jump­ing. I look for­ward to con­nect­ing with you and I sin­cerely hope you enjoy being a part of this blog.
