The Secret Sauce to a Man's Heart

The Secret Sauce to a Man's Heart

I am sure that by now, you have heard from me that the path to a mans love and commitment is not centered around being a sex kitten, an intellectual sparring partner, spiritual ally or a sports buddy.  There has been much written about sexual chemistry, having similar social and religious values and common interests as being important in a marriage and I agree, but that is not what I am talking about.

I often see women come to a point in their relationship with a husband or partner.  This point is miscommunication. Your ways of communicating aren't working anymore!

You sense he’s backing away from you….he is not talking. He seems cold and distant.

You spy him looking at other women or he comments about the new beauty in yoga class. Maybe he doesn't call as often, or starts hesitating about making plans.

I was too busy trying to be perfect. I spent my time imagining and figuring out what it was he wanted me to be and then, I would become it.

I was wrong.  But it wasn't my fault, and it's not yours either.

And boy, do I feel her pain.
