It has to be a sword because you are dangerous and I don't feel safe with only a chess board between us. Jeeze, where have you been?

It has to be a sword because you are dangerous and I don’t feel safe with only a chess board between us.

Very frustrating sometimes. If I ever mentions "the game" or relationship sparring a lot of people get all up in arms about it! Glad you see that there is a difference.

I have writing about the game in the past and I think people have often missed the point. It is NOT about getting one over on the other person but it is a muscle we all need to be aware of and flex time to time. It is really nice to have people quote you in the comment section!

This was, to me, the most poignant: "Even if you enter the relationship with massive respect and love there will be a time when you will have to take up arms and fight for your position. I only hope that you can both come from the position of masters with the same objective. To continue with the amazing connection the two of you first forged." I like the idea of not fighting initially, but fighting later on. And fighting, at least in this quote, is different from the fighting you tire of, the sparring that happens on first sight between you and a girl who wants to play The Game. The fighting you are referring to here sounds a lot more healthy: You are fighting for love, and both people are fighting, but not each other.

Loved this line. I wish more people used their 'skills' to maintain the health of their relationships, instead of using them to assert their dominance. I think many people are out here just trying to get one over on the people they 'connect' with. Great post! “…we learn to play because in becoming skilled we have the confidence to no longer need to play and instead we use our skills to maintain the health of the relationship.”
