It can help you understand what is really important to you and to your partner, and having a common goal can help you to stick together, even during the most challenging times. It is about moving toward what you want, not necessarily achieving it. However, if you reach your goal, then don’t forget to celebrate together!",

His first book on this subject was published in 1995 and has been consistently on the New York Times Best Seller list. Chapman holds that there are five main ways that people show their affection; this also tends to be the way they prefer to receive affection too: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Physical Touch, Acts of Service and Gifts.</p><p>Some people feel loved when their partner brings them a coffee in the morning: This is a great example of Act of Service.</p><p>Some need their partner to tell them how good they look or how well they handled something: These are words of Affirmation.</p><p>Some people always buy their partner a present if they’ve been away: Obviously this is Gifts.</p><p>Others require physical forms of affection such as a kiss or stroke through the hair: These are expressions of “Physical Touch”.</p>",

title: "Active listening",
goal: "<p>Relationships are all about communication. Sometimes it happens that we listen to our partners speaking without really hearing what they are saying. This means we miss opportunities to connect with our partners – and even worse – risk making them feel neglected, disrespected, and resentful. In order to avoid this, the two of you are going to experiment with active listening.</p><p>This exercise helps you both express active interest in what your partner has to say and to make him or her feel heard so as to foster empathy and connection. Active listening creates a safe space in which one's thoughts and feelings do not come under judgment. This is crucial in a relationship, as you want to be able to talk freely and openly to each other.</p>",
how_to: {
text: "<p>Find a quiet place where you can talk with your partner without interruption or distraction. Invite them to share what’s on their mind. When they do so, try to follow the steps below. You don’t need to cover every step, but the more you do cover, the more effective this exercise is likely to be.</p><ul><li>1. Sit facing each other</li><li>2. Set a timer for 5 minutes</li><li>3. Just talk about whatever they need to talk about: what’s been on their mind lately, how they feel about the other one …whatever they want.</li><li>4. Use engaged body language. Show that you are interested by maintaining eye contact, and try to maintain eye contact with them the entire time.</li><li>5. Express empathy. If the other person voices negative feelings, strive to validate these feelings rather than questioning or defending against them. For example, if the speaker expresses frustration, try to consider why he or she feels that way, regardless of whether you think that feeling is justified or whether you would feel that way yourself were you in his or her position.</li><li>6. Avoid judgment. Your goal is to understand the other person’s perspective and accept it for what it is, even if you disagree with it. Try not to interrupt with counter-arguments or mentally prepare a rebuttal while the other person is speaking.</li><li>7.Avoid giving advice. Problem-solving is likely to be more effective once you understand your partner’s perspective and when they feel heard. Moving too quickly into advice-giving can be counterproductive. </li></ul><p>Finish?</p><p>Take turns so once the timer has gone off, the roles switch and the other partner has their turn to speak in an uninterrupted stream of consciousness. </p>"

title: "Let's talk about sex",
goal: "<p>In the early seventies, it was believed that only men had sexual fantasies. We nowadays know better and having sexual fantasies, whether you want to act them out or not, is completely natural and healthy. A 2001 study in the Journal of Sex Research found that 98% of men and 80% of women had fantasized about someone other than their partner in the previous 2 months! However, how to talk to your partner about sex can be one of the more challenging aspects of a relationship.</p><p>Without being able to truly communicate about sex there is a danger that people engage in sexual activities they don’t really enjoy. Sexual satisfaction depends on your ability to express what arouses or interests you and what doesn’t.</p><p>Often people feel embarrassed about expressing their desires for fear of what their partners will think or how they’ll respond</p>",
how_to: {
text: "<p>How do you talk with each other about sex?</p><p>Here are some pointers to get you started:</p><ul><li><p>1. Make sure that you and your partner are ready to discuss this topic.</p><p>Timing can make a huge difference in how and where a sexual conversation goes. Pick a time when you have some privacy and are not rushed, so you can both think about what’s being said and how it feels before you respond. Great if that can happen today, but its absolutely fine if you decide together to do this exercise another day.</li><li><p>2. Agree on confidentiality.</p><p>Whenever you bring up a new sexual conversation with your partner, you are exposing a part of yourself and you need to feel safe.</p></li><li>3. You can start by asking each other questions about where you most like to be touched, what you liked best the last time you made love, what is your favourite place to kiss your partner’s body, what makes sex more exciting for you, do you have a fantasy you would like to share, is there a special love toy you’d like to try and what about watching erotic movies together?</li></ul><p>Try what works for you. Things that are new can feel uncomfortable or awkward at first, and having a sense of humour can help. There is no right or wrong, just have fun with discovering your sexual communication and see what happens. It's a nice idea to end your conversation sharing at least one positive thing that came out of it.<p></p>You can record it and send it to your partner at a moment you want to surprise him or her with a sex date.</p>"

Free of any expectations.</p>",

text: "<p><ul><li>1. Decide which partner will be first and also decide the amount of time you will share together.

The partner who goes first is Lover A, and the other partner is Lover B. Lover A guides Lover B, expressing his/her desires and fantasies. Lover B will be the listener.</li><li>3. Preparations Lover A: put together your intimate sensual spoiling box: The ideal size is probably a shoe box, or something a little smaller.
Fill this spoiling box with inventive toys such as feathers, flowers, straws, shells, crystals, leaves, sticks, necklaces, brushes, musical instruments such bells/ tingshas /a singing bowl, maybe food like grapes, strawberries, peanut butter, chocolate spread, or massage oils/ fragrances, ice cubes.

You initiate how, where and with what your lover can touch you. You can choose to start with a slow gentle full body massage or maybe a strong shoulder massage. You are in charge; you take the decisions. You could invite your lover to use their hand(s), finger(s), toe(s), elbow(s), nose, mouth, tongue, belly, bump and/or any of the extras from your intimate spoiling box. Lover A is welcoming the inner creativity of being the master, of sharing their inner sensuality and is active in exploring playfulness and boundaries.</p><p><strong>Lover B.</strong></p><p>You are the listener. The non-judgmental listener. You are vulnerable: by being curious and friendly.
You are strong: by being passive. You are open to all the sensual invitations from Lover A. <p><strong>IMPORTANTFOR BOTH LOVERS</strong>: Be present!
Surrender to the moment; be in the moment.
Both of you are patient and respectful, practice a non-judgmental awareness.
Be aware of each others do’s and don’ts, the yes or the no.</p>"
