Hey passengers, more and more I have been having epiphanies concerning myself and relationships of the sexes. Some come from experience, some from talking to friends and some …well just appear from the heart.
Day 1…as the conductor (ME) yells, “ALL ABOARD!”.  let’s discuss making emotional connections.
As the Train rolls down the track, I am starting to feel that making an emotional connection is what people hunger for the most.
Although it’s a tough thing to do, and I am certainly no expert, I think that by recognizing and admitting that you’re emotionally dependent on your partner we might be able to transform key moments in our relationships and bring us closer than ever.
As a man I struggle with and feel ashamed about needing emotional ties. At times I’ve even felt that I’m weak or immature. especially when I was married I felt like, I shouldn’t need this comfort from her.” I’m a man, STRONG like…BULL…A vulcan..devoid of emotions or feelings (LOL).
But as I grow older I start to realize that “We’re born incredibly vulnerable.â€Â And as I have studied in the Bible we were made needy by design. God looked at Adam…and saw the need for Eve…
I’ll stop here because a close confidante of mine told me I should keep the articles shorter. So…stop by tomorrow for more of my thoughts on relationships. …And I’d love to hear from you as well.
All Aboard..”The LiFeTrain!”
Don’t you think that we need to allow ourselves to be vulnerable in order to create emotional intimacy with our partner? When a deep emotional connection exists in a relationship, we trust our partner with the deepest part of ourselves….our most private thoughts, dreams and fears…..and do so without reservation. Deep intimacy can only occur when we allow this; our partner knows our true selves, imperfections and all, yet loves us in spite of them.
That my dear would be the ideal situation…Thank you for taking the time…

I agree with The Conductor on this one. That would be ideal. I think that the idea of this fulfilling relationship is sooo wonderful that it inspires and continually fuels the dream of its existance. I might be a liiiittle jaded…what I wouldn’t give to experience a relationship like this. Wait I have…but with friends and family. Not in a romantic all consuming relationship though.
Honestly, even in the instances of friends and family being open and vulnerable always comes at a cost. In the end … and they have always come to an end (with the exception of family) it was worth the growth, experience, fun, exhilaration of being free and true. Yep…looking back even knowing the pain to come…it was worth it. Hey, it’s part of the journey. If we don’t take the risk we don’t get the gain.
Here’s to hoping…. in spite of my better judgment.
Peace and Blessings,
Truth
