I have spoken to many men who admit that sex is their way to
love. The physical act of sex helps them to open their hearts to connect with
their partners. Whereas many women need heart connection first so they can be
open to sex. Many couples, therefore, are truly stuck. He wants sex in order to
feel love. She wants love in order to enjoy sex.

Our Need for Acknowledgment and Blessing
There
is a great need in every human being to be acknowledged and blessed by another
person, especially their parent. People often strive to receive acknowledgment of
who they are. When they do not receive acknowledgment or blessing, they can
feel hopeless or unworthy.
In
the children’s movie, “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,” the boy, knowing
that his town was in desperate need of food, creates a way for food to come
from the sky. Everyone is grateful to him including the mayor of the city.
However, the one person that he really wants to acknowledge him is his father. His
father has never been able to communicate his love and acceptance to his son,
so even in the face of the boy saving the city, he still complains that the
food is too big or is falling down too heavy. In the movie you can see the boy
shrivel up when his father cannot even acknowledge him for such a great thing.
