Compliance which has been enforced by using force is short lived, if you are set on building a strong, longer lasting relationship based on dominance and submission you have to not only accept the other person, but be as reverent of their flaws as you are of their good points.

To achieve this goal I think of my dominance as a tool. This lifestyle is not limited to the sexual practices and ideas often talked about in articles, this lifestyle is very much about making a choice to look at your life and how you approach it in a completely different way. If we can reduce the amount of time waisted on resentment points in a relationship which do not really advance us, then we can take that time and invest it into making ourselves better. Not only for our own good, but to prosper for and with your partner.

Sex and sexual practices are an essential part of our lives, they rule us more than we would like to think. If we manage to tame that beast, by admitting ourselves into a world of pleasure whenever we feel like it, without guilt or shame, then we are in a position to better share ourselves and create a longer lasting, much tighter bond with our partner.

That gives me a very secure feeling and I can focus my attention on the more important things. How to progress my career, create a happy and safe environment for my pet, how to educate myself so that I can better understand her and how to ensure that she is happy with me by serving my needs and receiving the feedback she deserves. ‘Persevere,’ it’s my stance on how I deal with things in life. Every time I get an injury or suffer from a personal setback that’s exactly what I do, I persevere. It’s either that or ‘Rise Above,’ as opposed to persevere through it.

No one understands until they do it. There's no explaining it. There are too many invariables in life you can't control that just happen. She is my wife. A few hours, that either of us, spent with someone else are not enough for me to give that up. We're two polar opposites. But for some reason, it just works.

I'm past remorse. I'd like to think everybody involved in the situation is past it too. Our lives are busy and hectic, right now, but in a good way. ... This is where I always wanted to get to. It feels really, really good. It feels satisfying. We needed that stuff to happen in order to get this attitude. Didn't know it, wouldn't plan on going through all that again, but I think we made lemonade out of lemons. I know that when I go to bed at night, I feel good about who I am. I'm not saying I'm perfect, never have. And I will continue to make mistakes for the rest of my life - that's what human beings do. That's not to brush off what happened. Was it a mistake? It's not a mistake that I'm sitting beside her now, though. Being together, we are a packaged deal. I wouldn't have gotten to where I am without her.
