Living life with passion means possessing a healthy aliveness. Nowhere is living with passion more important than in love relationships and in sex lives.

Why is it so difficult to keep a love relationship lively?  Is it possible to maintain the passion in sex? 

   It is possible. To do so, people must possess or develop the capacity to be emotionally strong and loving. Being strong means having the ability to make the right choices, for ourselves or others, even if the choices are difficult or unpopular.  Being loving is the capacity to let go of ourselves; to temporarily choose to disregard our own needs by supporting the growth, nourishment and well-being of another. 
   By knowing ourselves well, our strengths and limitations, it is vital that we learn to love and trust ourselves. It is done by choosing to be a friend to ourselves, in spite of our own faults.  Even in our love relationships, and especially in our love relationships, being true to ourself is a necessary part of maintaining passion.
   If we do not possess these qualities, the passion in our love relationship will fade away and the passion in sex, too, will eventually be lost.
