Passion in the Empty Nest




"Only passions, great passions, can elevate the soul to great things."
Denis Diderot

As Mr. Diderot suggests our soul can be elevated by passion.  We certainly agree, passion is an amazing thing and Caffection is our passion.  We've known for quite some time our relationship doesn't fit  the societal norm.  We're considered outside 'the box' by several, including some of our own family, because we believe anyone who is in a committed relationship should work to stay connected by finding new ways to reach out to each other.  We all have lulls in our lives, the ebb and flow of a solid relationship creates a comfortable ease, but don't let that lure you to sleep.  One great way to refocus on your mate is by going outside your comfort zone.  Just for fun read SEX Over 40 by Dr Saul Rosenthal together by each taking a turn reading to each other, then discuss it.  You'll surprise yourselves with the intimacy this creates.
