Question
dear sir.
why is it that I can never hold on to a woman. it starts with not even a physical pleasure and end up so quick for no reason. As soon as I meet a woman that I like, I loose her even before we can enjoy life together. it happens since I was a teenager. I am 52 years old married with 3 kids. Is there a sort of meditation or prayer that can help me because I always feel lonely and empty even sometimes standing between 5 women.
                      thank you
                      Mr. Marzouka

Answer
Dear Mr. Marzouka,

I do not know where you are residing.  In most countries there is a law prohibiting poligamy.  I am not able to help you in this.  Buddhism is about universal truths on existence and how to live a peaceful and wholesome life; taking good care of one's family and behaving oneself appropriately.   

Take care.
