Patricia Love, M.D. and Jo Robinson, experts in the field of sex and couples therapy have found that unfortunately most couples enjoy high levels of passion and intimacy for a short time.  “Approximately half of all men and 40% of all married women have had at least one affair.”  However there is more help to the rescue! This dynamic team has developed a formula for lasting passion that they share in their steamy book, “Hot Monogamy”. 

“What is it that keeps more couples from experiencing passion?  The answer is this:  On the deepest levels of passion and intimacy, we are all fearful pilgrims.”

Which ones apply to you:

• The fear of getting what you long for
• A fear of engulfment
  
• A fear of triggering pain from the past
  
• A fear of being rejected 
• A fear of relinquishing control
• The fear that the partner’s needs are insatiable
  
• The fear of challenging gender roles
  
• The fear of being sexual with people outside of the relationship
  
• The fear of losing control
  
• The fear of losing the partner
  

Bringing awareness to these fears can then create greater choice around the decisions you make when it comes to love.
