Have you heard any of these jokes:

A lady inserted an ad in the classifieds: ‘Husband Wanted’. Next day she received a hundred letters.

They all said the same thing: ‘You can have mine.’

If you want your spouse to listen and pay strict attention to every word you

say — talk in your sleep.

First guy says, ‘My wife’s an angel!’ Second guy remarks, ‘You’re lucky, mine’s still alive.’

And then the young son asked his father, ‘Is it true that in some parts of Africa a man doesn’t know his wife until he marries her?’ Dad replied, ‘That happens in every country, son.’

Why is the beginning of the relationship so exciting, romantic, hot and after a few years of marriage the happy couple is contemplating divorce?

The problem with relationships is that men and women have different needs – everyone knows that but when you understand what a women wants and what a man wants and then work on the relationship with an understanding of each others needs you can develop the relationship into an exciting, loving, caring satisfying marriage.

How can this be accomplished?

Women want attention, appreciation, and communication.

Men want sex. The sex drive in a man is incredibly strong. Think about the beginning of most relationships. The man is attentive, appreciative and talks. The women gets what she wants because the man is interested in getting her into bed.

So a great way for couples to bring excitement back into the relationship is to have the women focus on channeling her husbands sex drive. Once this is accomplished she will get what she wants. When a man’s sex drive is channeled he will again become attentive, romantic, appreciative and he will communicate.

This can be done with a little imagination. It wont require the wife to hang from the ceiling fan dressed in garter belts with a paddle in her hand. When a wife learns to use her feminine qualities she can bring her husband to attention in a very short period of time.

Sound like work? Sound a little weird? Every relationship requires work. If you want a relationship that you’ve only dreamed about learn how to use your sexuality and you’ll find your husband begging to do things for you.

Well somebody actually asked me the same thing: “Jim, what do YOU think romance is?” Well, I had to think a few moments, and here it is:

Romance, I’m sure, is the path and destination, the life long pursuit of life’s peak experiences. The destination is togetherness, the path is a mountain of salt that we may eat together. Romance is watching your eyes as you look at shoes on the rack or stars or concerts and noticing what makes your face light up in pleasure: and bringing that look back into your eyes by future words, deeds and thoughts.

Romance is making you always feel safe and protected no matter how crazy the adventure gets; That we can always survive and thrive. Romance is allowing you to be an eternal little child, adolescent, seductress, mommie, slut, matron and crone at your whim, and reveling in the kaleidoscope of your personality. Romance is the confidence to let you grow in whatever ways you need, with whatever resources you choose, and knowing that you will be a better partner for all that.

That, my reader, you flower of thorns, is romance for me, pernonally. I learned it from Joan Armatrading’s ‘Willow.’ — go out and buy her tunes!

It is a tough road to travel. Don’t expect to do it without some serious growth on your part.

However, you will find that there are some universal attributes about romancing your partner, man or women.

1. Find something your partner really values. This part
   is easier if you and your partner have a common set
   of important values.
2. Provide that something even if that is really difficult.
   This part is easier if you (and your partner) have got-
   ten rid of most of your hang-ups.
3. See how it works and go back to step 1 all over again
   with something different. This part is easier if you
   and your partner have a commitment to keep trying.

Seems simple, but it takes patience, and work. The phrase “this part is easier” is exactly what the Celarien Experience is all about. Using the power of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is an effective way to address exactly these portions of your romantic future. The e-book Romantic Trances available there is full of ways for you to get the essential “this part is easier” into your romance — relationship, life achievement, building tall buildings with your name on the front, liberating a whole nation, anything.

Are you willing to take a few minutes to learn?
Romance puts the fresh back into stale, doesn’t it. But what is it? That’s the problem. How can you get it if you don’t know what it is? And yet most of us in have no idea what Romance really is!
Here are some things that are NOT romance: lace panties. Communication. The dread phrase ‘we need to talk.’ Dinner at a fancy restaraunt, nor even an evening on the town.
Think about it. What do you know of romance? What is really romantic to you? Better yet, ask your friends what romance is. They might think they know about romance, even some might say I’m a true-blue romantic at heart, but they still can’t tell you what romance really is. — Ask ten friends and you are likely to get ten different answers.
My name is Jim Hinds, and I did exactly that and it took years for me to put all the answers together. But put them together I did, and I want to share this with you.
Why? Because your life with your partner will be more fun, more intimate, more vivid than you can imagine.
Once you take care of the basic necessities, did you realize that you and your partner deeply crave romance at a very emotional level? But, our culture has sacrificed romance for efficiency. For logic. For teamwork. For being on-time, hard work and washing your hands before dinner.
It is true that competition, cleanliness, timeliness, efficiency and the bottom line are important. You may remember the old saying: If the only tool you have is a hammer, then all problems look like nails. Do you really think that you can pound romance into your life? So maybe we need to find another, better set of tools to create romance.
That’s where The Celarien Experience comes in. We help you gain new insights and attitudes. To give you new behavioral tools to coax you and your partner into a more vivid and important relationship. One that you can fill with the romance that will mean so much for you and your partner
You deserve romance. You deserve The Celarien Experience.

You now have a choice: You can go away and think about romance, and how to get it back into your life. You may spend years looking, thinking and not finding.

Their destination of romance may be finished, but Tara has pleasant memories of each step they took together along the way. These memories gave Tara courage after Don’s death. They had spoken many times of what would happen if the other one should pass first. Tara knew that Don did not want a funeral service with people telling Tara how sorry they were. Instead, she threw a party to celebrate the life of her beloved mate and only invited the family and friends who knew Don best.

What regular activities are you doing with your partner to nurture your relationship? Are you enjoying the journey on the way to where you are going? Are you fulfilled enough that you could carry on without the one you love?

Through laughter and tears, romance paves the way to whatever lies ahead. Romance is the road as well as the journey to what ever gives you that positive, joyful energy.
