Just as you’re reaching forrepparttar 150860 milk, you realize with horror that your wedding ring is gone! In a panicked state you searchrepparttar 150861 whole house forrepparttar 150862 ring, but find no trace of it anywhere.

The Powerful Secret to A Loving Relationship Margaret Paul, Ph.D.

There are many factors that go into creating a loving relationship. Certainly it helps if two people have some things in common regarding how they like to spend their time. It also helps if they have common values around religion or spirituality, around politics,repparttar 150519 environment, abortion, and personal growth. It helps if they both eat junk food or both eat organic food. It makes things easier if both are neat or both are messy, if both are on time people or both are late people. Physical attraction is also quite important. It’s great if they have common values around money and spending.

Yet a couple can have all of these and still not have a loving relationship if one element is missing. Without this essential ingredient, allrepparttar 150520 other wonderful attributes will not be enough to makerepparttar 150521 relationship work.

This essential ingredient is about intention.

At any given moment, each of us is devoted to only one of two different intentions: to control or to learn.
