Surrender

[sisterhoney61 {RW}]

I definitely agree with You there, Sir Russell. My Master and I have known each other for nine years now and W/we are extemely close. W/we are Master and sub, Husband and wife and best friends. It has come to the point where W/we complete each other's sentences or one can look at the other and know what the other person is thinking or is about to say. Master knows me better than I know myself a lot of the time. D/s has definitely brought U/us closer as a couple.

Agreed, the D/s side of the relationship has brought J an I MUCH MUCH closer much more quickly that I am used to. The level of vulnerability and trust is remarkable.

That level of surrender creates an atmosphere of intensity that I wouldn't trade for anything, but when I stop to look back at the high level of connection and passion, I can also see the potential for that passion to cause just as intense of a breakdown if "things go wrong." For the couples that have been together longer, do you find you deal with that successfully?

I love this thread and it's especially nice that it was started by a Dom who has expressed his feelings so beautifully.

I've been married to my Dom for ten years now and I believe that our D/s relationship has made us stronger and so much closer as a couple. We've had moments when life gets in the way and pulls us apart but we both know that what we've got is far too precious to throw away and, whatever happens, I think we both know that we are somehow bound together for ever.

I am completely impressed J-Go, to see you (as a Master) admit to such a deep feeling - too many 'Doms' feel it weak to do so, when it's quite the opposite - a strong man, a confident man without insecurity has no problem stating such things

Amber, I do believe that it is the complete vulnerability and letting go of it all to One that causes such intensity and yes, I think it is a two way street.

You can't enjoy such highs without the lows being equal. Experiencing His disappointment in you is as heart-wrenching and emotionally devastating as is the feelings of euphoria when He is utterly pleased by something you've done.

You just have to bare both in mind and most certainly during low times, it's all about good communication, learning and proper forgiveness so you both move on truly leaving transgressions behind.

My heart-felt congratulations to both of Y/you, I hope you see many years of the same happiness!
