Fidelity: How to Create a Loving Relationship That Lasts

Whenever you find yourself judging your partner, go back to your in-breath and out-breath, and ask, “How can I see this differently? Can I look more deeply to better understand her suffering and her difficulties?”

When you practice building a home in yourself, you become more and more beautiful. You radiate your inner peace, warmth, and joy.

If we don’t listen to our own suffering, we won’t understand it, and we won’t have compassion for ourselves. Compassion is the element that helps heal us.

Loneliness can only be healed by understanding and love.

When spiritual intimacy is there, then physical and emotional intimacy can be healthy, healing, and pleasurable.

But that need is actually a continuation of the original fear and desire that have been with us since we were small children.

All of us feel lonely and empty inside sometimes. When we have these feelings, we try to fill the vacuum by consuming food or alcohol, or by engaging in sexual activity.

Love can bring us happiness and peace as long as we love in such a way that we don’t make a net to confine ourselves and others. We can tell the correct way to love because, when we love correctly, we don’t create more suffering.

If one person keeps calm and smiles at a provocation, the whole world will have a better chance for peace.
