The Crisis of Love
          (c) Daniel Mars - 11-18-98

          The CRISIS of  LOVE! Men have forgotten how to love women. Women
          have learned to express their love for man through sex, which is not the
          same as making love. I can tell you why this is important. There is a purpose
          for the love between woman and man, a sacred purpose that has nothing to
          do with sexual gratification.

          These days, men and women seek only sexual gratification in their "loving"
          relationships. This satisfaction is usually based upon the desire of the man to
          become sexually aroused, excited, and then to experience orgasm and
          ejaculation. Women have been socially coerced into the role of sexual
          performers on the threat of being labeled "cold" and being ignored by men.
          Women have also been mislead, by men, to believe in the value and power
          of orgasms. Women have taken on the male sexual quest of chasing
          excitement and satisfaction through sexual encounters. Eventually, "lovers"
          will realize that they have been worshiping the false god of orgasm which
          will never be capable of bringing  them into spiritual unity and creating a
          sustainable loving relationship..

          A woman who remains true to her essential loving nature, will accept
          her man's sexual orientation, and take pleasure in satisfying him sexually
          because she loves him. Secretly, however, she awaits the day when he will
          outgrow such boyish sexual desires and join her in the full expression of
          sacred love. Since the man has successfully trained her to perform sex for
          him, he has no motive to change. If she is weak and dependent, she will live
          a life of quiet desperation. Eventually, she will withdraw from having sex and
          possibly cause her husband to abandon or redirect his sexual desires.

          How many married couples over 30 years of age do you know who are
          truly in love and live in harmony? Not many, I'll bet. We overlook the
          simmering quarrels and tensions because, well, that's just the way it is when
          two or more people live together. Yes, that is just how it is when a man and
          a woman are not making spiritual love together. When a relationship
          involves a woman deprived of right love making trying to satisfy a
          sexually obsessed man, all they have are brief truces between battles.
          There is too much sexual tension there.

          If she is strong and independent, she may only be willing to wait until she is
          30 or so years of age. She may then decide that she can no longer wait for
          her husband to mature into sacred love. She will leave him and he will not
          understand how he has failed her. She will criticize every part of him, but
          she will never say, "I'm leaving you because you do not know how to make
          love!" He would not understand even if she were that honest.

          She can not be so honest. She has been a guilty partner since she was very
          young, a virgin. She allowed boys to fondle and caress her body, thereby
          exciting her and themselves sexually. She allowed boys to teach her to be an
          object of sexual excitement and gratification. She did not teach boys
          about love, which was her sacred duty.. When she first "fell in love" with
          a boy, she quickly learned that boys are frightened by love. Boys only
          understand and want sex. She chose to use sex to gain power and
          control over boys. Her relationship with her girl friends changed from
          supportive to competitive as the boys rewarded the sexy girls with their
          attention and favors. At a young age she had already contributed to the
          continuation of the crisis of love. How could she possibly openly criticize her
          husband for his lack of understanding when she has been a willing partner
          for so many years. It's too embarrassing !

          There is a fundamental reason why so many couples break up. How can a
          couple after five, ten or more years of sharing their lives suddenly decide
          that they are not compatible? That is absurd ! What possesses them to
          divide whatever they have built together, deprive their children of a loving
          home, and turn into mortal enemies?  Only the Crisis of  Love.

          If a woman and a man know how to create love, they will become
          precious to each other and inseparable.

          A man who is not enjoying sex at home will go outside the home and
          marriage for sex. Usually, he retreats to a fantasy world, stimulated by
          pornography, or auto-erotic fantasies. Sometimes he will establish a sexual
          relationship outside the marriage, although this can be very difficult and a
          bigger problem than a solution.

          A man can find sexual gratification without love and he can maintain his
          marriage and family commitments with a minimal expression of  love. Even
          though his essential spiritual nature desires to love a woman. He simply does
          not know how because he has not been spiritually initiated into the sacred
          circle of love in his adolescence.

          Most divorces are initiated by women either in the courts or in the bed.
          A woman can have sex without love, but she wants love more deeply than
          sex. If her relationship provides only sex, she will want and wait for love
          because she is not satisfied with sex alone. Unlike her husband, she can live
          quite well without sex. When she can no longer wait for her man's love, she
          estranges him. She prefers to live alone or without a man until she finds love.
          She waits for love.

          There is a real love that a man and woman can make. We have only
          to remember how to make it.

          What keeps man from loving woman in the way that she desires to be
          loved? Why is woman unable to teach man about love? Is it too late to
          change all this? Can the Crisis of LOVE be resolved? Can men and women
          reclaim their ability to engage in right loving? What is the purpose for love?
          How would your world change once this purpose is re-discovered?

          Your willingness to believe in positive change and your understanding of
          some very basic principles will surely alter your life experience on many
          levels. Understanding the physical, emotional and spiritual purposes of the
          love between man and woman will possibly improve your life experience.
          No one is too young or too old to have this knowledge.

          Sadly, of those who have read thus far, only a precious few will be willing to
          inquire further.

          Please, share your thoughts with me... send e-mail to mars@mystars.com

          If you are willing, I can show you how to love rightly. Both women and men
          will find this information infinitely valuable.
