joy. My question concerns the relationship between couples. In particular, the problems that arise around the desire for intimacy, the so-called passion. time a question is about relationships and about the nature of intimacy and passion and mostly about disparity within the cup behavioral disparity within the couple which causes frustration and unhappiness to the couple. Yesterday we discussed about the four elements of true love. And we have learned that mutual understanding is at the base for a healthy, happy relationship. Without mutual understanding, without good communion, The coming together of two bodies can create lots of suffering.

In a healthy, happy relationship there should always be mutual respect. If you do not have enough respect toward the other person, your act, your thought and your speech will not give him

her happiness, it may give the opposite of happiness.

Se tu non hai abbastanza rispetto per l'altro o per l'altra, ogni tuo gesto, ogni tua parola, ogni tuo pensiero può portare molta sofferenza all'altro o all'altra.

We have to respect the other person, we have to respect his body, her body.

Noi dobbiamo rispettare, tu devi rispettare l'altra persona, il suo corpo.

You have to handle the other bodies with utmost respect because that is a wonderful manifestation of the cosmos. You have to deal with the... the mind, the feelings, the perceptions of the other person with respect.

And we also have to respect the suffering in the other person.

And to me, if you do not respect yourself, it is very difficult to respect the other person.

It's very important to know that the coming together of two bodies in sexual relationship

may cause a lot of damage if there is no mutual understanding and mutual relationship.

If you are in a relationship, make sure that you practice that and your partner will practice that. Se sei in una relazione di coppia, assicurati che tu pratichi questo atteggiamento e che anche l'altra persona lo pratichi.

Le nostre sensazioni, le nostre emozioni sono sacre, sono molto

sacre. Anche la nostra sofferenza è molto sacra. Il nostro corpo anche è sacro.

And the other person cannot touch our emotions, our feelings, our suffering, our body without respect. L'amore non è possibile senza comprensione. And understanding brings about respect and the willingness to nourish, to help and to heal.

And that understanding, that respect should be directed to the other person,

and to be directed at ourselves at the same time. I

have shared a number of things like that in my small book, Teachings on Love.

When my mother sees my children kissing and hugging me, she always tells me, enjoy them now, because when they grow up, they will cause you a lot of pain and a lot of problems. I always feel very worried when I hear these words. Do you really think that children cause a lot of problems when they are teenagers? Thank you.
