An intimate relationship is something that binds a male and female together. Unless man and woman understand each other's nature, they ignorantly torture one another. Each should strive for an inner balance of both reason and feeling, and so become a "whole" personality, a perfected human being.

If there is a habit or quality in your mate that rouses unlovely traits in your disposition, you should realize the purpose of this circumstance: to bring to the surface those poisons hidden within you so that you may eliminate them and thus purify your nature.

Sex has its place in the marital relationship between man and woman. But if it becomes the supreme factor in that relationship, love flies out the door and disappears completely; in its place come possessiveness, over-familirity, and the abuse and loss of friendship and understanding.

Though sexual attraction is one of the conditions under which love is born, sex in itself is not love.

Sex and love are as far apart as the moon and the sun. It is only when the transmuting quality of true love is uppermost in the relationship that sex becomes a means of expressing love.

Those who live too much on the sex plane lose their way and fail to find a satisfying marital relationship. It is by self-control, in which sex is not the ruling emotion, but only incidental to love, that husband and wife can know what real love is.

In this modern world, unfortunately, love is too often destryoed by overemphasis on sex experience.

If all men (especially) and women practice the ancient vedic technique URDHVA RETAS, the world will turn out to be a much happier place.
