For us, the best part of experiencing Burning Man as a couple is what it does for us OFF playa. We are different as a couple because we have a wonderful, exciting secret that few others around us have ever experienced. (You all know what it's like trying to describe it to someone who has never been....) It has become a part of who we are as a couple. At the end of a day at my law office, I get to come home to someone who knows (and loves) that my hair is purple for one week each year. It makes us ageless to one another. It also takes a hell of a lot of prep work the rest of the year to play this hard for a week and having a partner to share it with is a gift.
Like you guys - the ability to share it with you is a gift as well.

Hey! Why didn't I say that? I know I should have. :)For us, the best part of experiencing Burning Man as a couple is what it does for us OFF playa.
(The same holds, if sometimes in a lesser extent, to other travels around, too, though. BRC is special, but luckily it is not the only interesting place on Earth.)

Desert washes all thoughts of Paris and Brittany Brad and Ben Costco stupidity. When dust enters every crevice and curling irons corrode we can suspend judgement size and move perfection criteria no longer matter. Desert camping so many years in my life has always left me blank and distended joyful. As a BM virgin I yearn to cavort with art makers and art mongers on a land I know well. Men I yearn for yes but I'll dump the criteria SWF seeks SWM and focus instead on playa dust and colors music and hu-moting. I yearn to burn...

The ultimate bubble, Gabilicious
This will be my 3rd burn and my wife’s 2nd. We went together in 03 and she stayed home last year with our then 6 week old baby. So I took my father and pined away for the whole week, I had a good time but… let’s face it there is a lot of passionate energy floating around that event and last year I had to reject that energy that was so consuming the year before.
Gabilicious is my playa goddess and I look forward to worshiping her again this year.

Bringing my mate to the Playa was the beginning of the end for us. I had spent the prior 4 years trying to talk him into going, but he always found a reason not to. Finally, 2 years ago he came with me. It was a disaster. I thought I had prepared him, but he simply could not deal with all of the challenging aspects. In retrospect, I wish I had never insisted that he join me. One of my campmates has never been without her mate...for the past 12 years. They couldn't imagine it any other way. Just like most things in this world, Burning Man is not always a perfect fit. I would love to meet someone that I could share my experiences with, but for now I'm content to enjoy my experiences alone.

Just thinking about things statistically: If we were all destined to find our one true "soulmate", given that there's 6 billion or so people in the world the odds that we would ever find that "one" is astronomical. That so many of us find someone we believe to be one we could spend the rest of lives with says to me that there are multiple "soulmate" possibilities. It makes me think that anyone who actually does find their "soulmate" in their town or city amongst a general population of 6 billion on the planet is simply settling. Either that, or there's a grand scheme that aligns us to be in the same vicinity as that one long enough to find them.
There's one for the psyche :)

The experience my wife and I have shared together, I just don’t know. I could not image have the same experience with anyone else. Our entire courtship met or exceeded every fantasy I ever had about meeting, courting, proposing, marrying and honeymooning a woman. Our relationship is far from perfect but I could not ask for more. I know, kinda disgusting. Sorry

Couple bliss on the playa exists. This will be my husband and my 2nd burn together. Last year I stayed behind with a brand new baby and ushered him out the door to BM without me. He said it wasn't the same and called everyday on the satalite. I couldn't imagine BM without him. It is so awsome for our marriage on SO many levels.

Focus your intention in Meditation
Try to sit quietly in a comfortable space and focus your intention upon what you want. You may see abstract faces, but it's really an emotional connection that you want (I guess) when you search for the soulmate. Do this meditation daily. You will begin to stregthen your projection. On the Playa, continue, and others will begin to sense your spiritual transmition. Smile, speak with a voice of love and intention, look her/him in the eye...
You are like a sun, when shining, and then the gravity will bring it to you
Oh, wow!

When in doubt, just smile, or perhaps mumble a bit, too...

I married between the years I wanted to go to Burning Man and when I finally could, and she was unable to go at all, admits being freaked out by the idea based on ignorance, until we finally went last year.
Right now she's up on our StarCastle hitting the handrails with a belt sander so visitors don't get splinters. Probably wearing a bikini, goggles, bandana and the hot pink cowboy hat I bought her, listening to Sky Cries Mary, Floater or Mutaytor.
The same things at BM that cause weak relationship to break cause strong ones to grow. Burning Man, according to her, broke her fear of motherhoo...

Soul Mate Existance.
I'd like to find my soul-mate too. At one time I had the parameters firmly laid out. A woman who had the physique of Gabriella Reece, The independence of a Valkyrie, the command that Tina Turner had as the Acid Queen in Tommy, the sensuality of Rebecca Demourney, the wit of John Cleese and the intelligence of Nikola Tesla.
It didn't take long,,,of course,,,til I came to the conclusion that such a person would not have any interest in me.
So now, I'll settle for intelligence and compassion.

I don't post things because I believe that they are the absolute truth. I post them because I believe that they should be considered.
