The tantric couple makes a commitment to keep their love fresh by scheduling time for long love sessions at least once a week. The beginning of every relationship is easy.
Everything is new and exciting, and chemistry is carrying us through: We see only what is good about our lover. For some of us, however, after a couple of years when we seem to know everything about each other, and we have made love in all imaginable positions and in every room in the house, boredom might start to creep in.
To avoid this we must go deeper into the realms of the emotions, the psyche, and the spirit. Setting time aside to play together is the best way to discover new things about each other, which makes the relationship exciting again.
Another way to keep the relationship passionate is to commit to a short time of physical connection once a day, even if for only ten minutes.
Here the intention is just to express the nurturing and caring for each other without setting a goal of actually “having sex.” It’s important to nurture each other, especially when we might start to close our hearts and become numb after repeated disagreements that seem impossible to resolve. After the ten-minute physical nurturing connection, it’s often easier to come to a loving solution and restore the good feelings.
The body remembers how good it feels to be in harmony with, and sexually excited by, the partner. The mind–which usually wants to prove itself right in any argument–gives in instead to the feeling of warmth and pleasure, possibly finding a win-win solution to the argument. After this period of closeness, we’re usually in a much more rational position to decide what would be the best investment of our time together–either making love, or proving who’s right and who’s wrong.
