Is sexual chemistry missing from your relationship? If you are always longing for something you don't have, don't beat yourself up. Wanting this connection is both natural and normal.

1. Chemistry bypasses the brain. It is not about what you think but what you feel.

  • Ahhh chemistry.....You can't think your way to chemistry.
  • No matter how much money he has (BIG SMILE), without chemistry, you will always feel the lack.
  • Chemistry is simply the first step in the process of getting to know another person. It is a signal that says, "This is worth another look".

2. Chemistry is effortless - "Trying" is hard work.

  • "Trying" to feel chemistry is impossible - either it is there or it is not.
  • We are hard-wired for chemistry. It is in our genetic coding and we need to pay attention. 

3. Its absence will always leave you feeling empty and wanting.

  • Have you ever wondered how you know you are not "in love", even when you admit to never having been in love? How do you know what love is, what it feels like - never having had it?
  • Love is our true nature, our home base. We know what that feels like the same way we know what chemistry feels like. If only for the moment, the connection makes us feel complete.

4. Chemistry makes you soft, forgiving.

  • Without chemistry, how can you make-up, how can you forgive and feel soft?
  • Life has it challenges and regardless of how connected you are with your partner, we all have moments when we can't stand the other person. Chemistry is force that re-connects us - that makes us want to re-connect

5. It is the glue that holds it all together.

  • Chemistry is about feeling right rather than being right.
  • Chemistry is joyful and creates a bond that connects.

Thank you for the great tips! Sometimes it almost seems hard to tell, but when you actually think about it, if you can't tell what you're feeling, most of the time it's most likely not chemistry.

That is so true. I know so many people who have tried for years to force it. It doesn't work.

I am currently in a relationship where there is absolutely no chemistry there.. Is it possible to run out of chemisty with someone or is that just patiance? After reading this I realize we dont have that bond, nor do we feel right.

A good and interesting article. One question though, are you a chemistry professor?

Thank you for the refreshing reminder. Sometimes when you are in a relationship for so long you tend to forget the small things, the small reasons why you are with that person. All of the chemistry that made you feel warm and fuzzy inside when first met and new feelings were formed.

Yes, sexual chemistry is very very very important in a relationship. I feel like some don't realize how important this can be. Especially in a married couple, it is difficult, but crucial to keep this alive. I'm really glad you wrote this because sex is not merely fulfilling your sexual needs, but also emotional needs too.

This is a very interesting subject. The way it was presented, really leaves me curious and eager to read about this in greater depth of detail.
One part that I found especially thought provoking:
"Chemistry is about feeling right rather than being right."

This statement raises many questions in my mind and I would like to explore this idea further. I hope that you will be writing more about this topic in the future.

In answer to the comment above - Wanting "to be right" is about the ego and wanting "to feel right" is about the heart, the longing for a real connection.

Chemistry is so important... It can truly overcome so many obstacles.

Every tip given in this blog is a fact. Granted, there are a lot of great looking guys in this world, but it takes a lot more than looks to actually make the relationship last. Chemistry has everything to do with maintaining a great relationship. Being married, you have your moments where you believe the chemistry disappears. But, who doesn't? Just give it time and work on it, the chemistry always comes back.

I agree that chemistry is there or it isn't. It zaps you like a lightening bolt. It is funny how you can have chemistry with one guy and a really hot guy can do nothing for you.

I completely agree. Either you have chemistry with your partner or you do not. This is also true of friendships and family relationships. Any relationship with anyone, friend/family/lover, requires a certain kind of chemistry for it to be fulfilling to both parties.

It's not so much sexual chemistry that's important, but chemistry itself. Its entirely possible to be happy in a sexless relationship as long as there's still a little spark of chemistry that makes you just want to share your life with him or her, not just your body.
