I live in Amsterdam, where having a bike is crucial.<\/p>\n

Bikes let me fly through the city and arrive at my destination in half the time that a car takes.<\/p>\n

I enjoy the scenery at every stoplight and I\u2019m engaged in the world around me. I never have to stress over unexpected detours or long lanes of traffic.<\/p>\n

In the rare case that I get caught in a snag, I know how to be on my way quickly. And it\u2019s great exercise to boot.<\/p>\n

I can get around without a bike, no doubt. But I\u2019ll face many obstacles and delays along the way, plenty of speed bumps and red lights.<\/p>\n

When things are going at an acceptable snail\u2019s pace, a road is closed, and I have to take a detour. I finally arrive at my destination to find nary a parking spot. I go round and round, frantically searching for one.<\/p>\n

By the time I park, I\u2019ve taken so many detours and had so many near misses that my mood is not so great.<\/p>\n

Woe be the person who crosses my path at that point. I can\u2019t be held responsible for my response.<\/p>\n

Except that I can.<\/p>\n

And I didn\u2019t used to respond very well, as you\u2019ll see from this embarrassing story.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all about the spokes.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s the wheel that makes a bike go \u2019round, it\u2019s the razor-thin spokes that keep the wheel in supple shape.<\/p>

Like Laura’s Six Intimacy Skills\u2122 that transform a well-I-guess-this-is-the-way-it-is<\/em> kind of relationship into one that is loving, warm, passionate and\u2026easy.<\/p>\n

Long live the spokes! Long live the spokes!<\/p>\n

Having practiced the Skills for about four years, I consider myself a master bike rider at this point.<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t mean that I don\u2019t have a flat now and then.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t mean that I suck it up or that I no longer get annoyed or even angry at my husband.<\/p>\n

It just means that I know how to easily maneuver myself out of any potentially difficult situation.<\/p>\n

Since there\u2019s no better way to measure progress than comparing before and after, let me show you two scenes of how these skills have transformed my relationship, all while allowing me to be the best version of myself.<\/p>\n
