Energies are the Invisible Key to Fulfilling Relationships

Donna & David teaching the
Energies of Love in 2004

To improve your relationships, understanding the psychology of relationships will help - dynamics such as the way we tend to project unresolved issues with our mother or father onto our wife or husband are certainly important.  But, understanding the energy or relationship can help in ways that are both more fundamental and more immediate!

The union of energies determines the way you communicate, the way you fight, the way you love, and the way you want to be loved.  There are four energetic or sensory styles at play in all kinds of relationships.
