Marriage is about reciprocity, compromise, and power not bliss and fantasy. Relationships, love and marriage. There is an intimacy much stronger than sex. Yet bedroom intimacy is the only kind of intimacy some couples have or can relate to in a relationship. Setting Limits in Relationships All relationships, even those with people we love and cherish, need limits if for no other reason than because we care for them and the relationship.
Romantic love is blinded by infatuation or chemistry.
It ends when anticipations become expectations. Chemistry fuels romantic love and infatuation with actual chemicals in our brains. Lust junkies are addicted to the chemistry of love. As chemistry wanes, love relationships enter a phase of power struggles. Power struggles are a natural part of relationships and love.
