Dear Friend,

*********************************
This is Part 22 of your 28 segment weekly email course which you requested on "Experiences for Couples for Increasing their Communication and Love".
Many but not all of these exercises are based on similar work of Gay and Katherine Hendricks of the Hendricks Institute.
For more on this subject and more such exercises you will want the book "Relationships of Conscious Love" by Robert Elias Najemy which can be found as a pdf ebook at http://HolisticHarmony.com/ebooks/index.asp

May you enjoy it and benefit from it.

EX. 22. BRAINSTORMING ISSUES
In our couples groups we have found that some issues that although they are very important, are seldom discussed in a positive and mature manner. We often get caught up in the games of "who is right" and function from our old roles of intimidator, interrogator, victim or aloof. In this exercise we will try to discuss these issues a mature and rational manner.
Decide who will be the secretary who will record the ideas you will jointly create. Brainstorming is a process in which two or more persons exchange ideas about any subject, without anyone ever making comments on or criticizing any of the ideas. Every idea which is expressed is recorded regardless as to whether it is acceptable, possible or even ethical. Recording the idea does not in any way bind us to accepting or employing it.
We are simply exchanging ideas, without coming to any conclusions. We are learning to think and to share ideas, without having to agree.
Take as much time as you like to share opinions and ideas about the following subjects. Remember do not get into the game of whose ideas are more correct, but simply learn to listen and understand what the other is thinking. Your ideas should not be rebuttals to the other's statements, but rather ideas about the issues presented here.
1. The balance between spiritual, emotional and physical contact.
a. What do we seek through our physical contact? What needs do we satisfy? How can we ensure that each of us has the type of physical contact he or she needs?
b. What kind of emotional contact do we need? How can we ensure that each of us has the type of emotional contact he or she needs?
c. What kind of spiritual contact do we need? How can we ensure that each of us has the type of spiritual contact he or she needs?
d. What can we each do to help the other fulfill his or her needs for physical, emotional and spiritual contact?
2. The problem of suppression.
a. When do I feel suppressed in this relationship?
b. Which are my needs that I feel are being suppressed?
c. What does the other do that makes me feel suppressed?
d. How do I create my own feelings of suppression?
e. What can we do to help each other free ourselves from these problems?
3. Maintaining a relationship that is alive.
a. What are the symptoms of a relationship that is becoming stale and mechanical?
b. What are the factors that cause the relationship to move in that direction?
c. What can each of us do to refresh our relationship?
4. The problem of one's needing less physical or sexual contact than the other.
a. What causes one or the other of us to prefer not to have physical or sexual contact at times?
b. How does the other feel, when his or her need is not responded to?
c. How does the one who prefers not to have contact feel when he or she feels pressure to have this contact?
d. What could the one who needs more contact be doing to turn off the other? (If such is so)
e. What could be going on in the one who does not want as much contact?
f. What can the one who wants more contact do to help the other to relax?
g. What can the one who wants less contact do to help the other feel better?
