life is going so fast these days and most of us have so many commitments that it is even hard to find time to share love with our partner.  Like anything, the more time we invest in our relationships the more return we receive back from them.  This is of inestimable worth & value when our lives rush on towards the inevitable…… death!

how close is too close for comfort for you? We all have different requirements when it comes to how close we want to be to others. There is a cultural component to this, as different nationalities generally require different physical space between themselves & others.  Australians like myself have the biggest requirement for space between self & others, understandably as we are a small population in a very large country.

It is a basic need and is the foundation for everything else in our lives. People have 4 basic different types of comfort needs and most of us would relate to one of these, at least generally.

we all have different development as regards our brains and this can strongly affect how we relate and who we relate with.  It is helpful to understand & know our own leaning or orientation and what parts of the brain we may need to develop. It is often the undeveloped that we may be attracted to in others but it is important that we try to develop this so we can see all sides of the picture (or should I say brain?)
