Thank you for your directness and insight Duane.

Initially the question about relationship/"ever-lasting married life" was asked from a feng shui perspective. We seemed to skirt the issue that there are real, human aspects that need to be taken care of first, as Duane adeptly points out.

Feng Shui does not take the place of well needed personal work, learning and healing. Everyone has to do their "homework" or none of this makes a difference in ANY area of life. Each person has to do their own work for themselves, no one can do it for them. We can wish our loved ones well yet we can not control their lives with feng shui or anything else.

No one person ever has the "right" answers particularly when it comes to relationship; that's what can be both frustrating and rewarding about relating and being with others. We're all learning about what it takes and what works best in each of our individual cases. We can read as many books as we want, obtain as many degrees or certifications as we want or hope that the energy of our homes helps things along, yet none of it takes the place of truly living it and working at it with the people that we need to.

Thanks and all the best,
Kat
