Ahhh...*deep breath*
Of all the Hexagrams to get in regards to romance, Hex 7 has to be the most difficult to understand and place into practice.
I saw some threads about Hex 7 but what about Hex 7 specifically and only relating to romance? Because, this Hex has to be the least romantic Hex there is! LOL
Now I am totally baffled but also a bit amused.
I asked the IC now, how to best behave in order to develop love in my "relationship" and got, Hex 7
Because, I *understand* that Hex 7 as an answer to the first question means, "manage this relationship maturely"..but HOW do I do that?
sooooo...I asked "ok, so how do I best manage this relationship maturly?" once again it gave me the same damn hex! my ole favourite, Hex 7
I don't know whether to laugh or bang my head on the wall.
So, how does one user "organized discipline" to "manage a relationship maturely"?

Laylab, you have a lucid way of answering your own questions. That's as good of an explanation of 7/45 as I've ever heard.
.
This is the full explaination of the hex 7 in answer to the question:
"How can I manage this relationship maturely with organized discipline?"
Your Present Hexagram 7
The most successful general is not the one that triumphs on the battlefield, but the one able, through strength of discipline and inner power, to triumph without spilling blood. Likewise, in any large organization the key virtues are discipline and conscientiousness. The most effective platoon marches with a single purpose - a dedication to a lofty common goal which is held dear by all. Otherwise, even with an excess of external discipline, unpopular wars are seldom winnable.
Let power be held in check by the acceptance of a common discipline, and submission to a higher authority for the common good. When life is in balance, evil impulses are checked by human decency; parents die before their children; leaders lead and followers follow. If you hold or aspire to a position of leadership, remember that the true leader captures the hearts of the people, and articulates a clear, simple vision which binds them together.
In the realm of government, the relationship between the army and state is critical. Only when the state is economically prosperous can the army be strong. Only when the army is disciplined can the state be protected from disruptive outside forces. For this balance to be preserved, government must be steady, and mild toward its own people. When balancing strong complimentary forces, modesty and generosity at the center can be a magnetic force which keeps the relationships intact. Solidarity among all elements is essential for success at this time.
Your Changing Lines
The Changing Lines are the part of an I-Ching reading that give the most powerful advice about a situation or issue, because they represent the factors that are causing things to change right now.
You have several Changing Lines, which indicates a relatively unstable situation with regard to your question.
The first changing line is line 2
Good fortune follows when the general works in the midst of his troops. Then, when honors are bestowed, the entire army is proud to see the general rewarded.
The second changing line is line 4
A strategic retreat is called for. This is not a final defeat, but an opportunity to gain strength by removing yourself from the battleground. Retreat is a disciplined disengagement from all response, into neutrality and acceptance of the situation as it is.
The third changing line is line 5
The time has come to be satisfied with recent gains, and go no further. The time to advance again will come later. Strengthen your position by making sure that internal relationships are as they should be. Use this break in the action to learn as much as you can about outside forces which may effect your position in the future.
Which leads to Future Hexagram 45 Gathering Together:
The power of gathering together is represented by a rally, where each individual's strength is magnified by the power of the community as a whole. History has shown that mass movements can bring about stable, ordered and durable conditions for the better. This reading may be pointing to an auspicious time for large undertakings. But the guiding force of a shared vision is essential to hold the forces of unity together, and keep them advancing toward a common goal.
Another image for this situation is that of a lake filling with water. Just as the fullness of the lake can bring good fortune to all in its sphere, it can also overflow, leading to calamity. Thus in a time of gathering together it is essential that precautions against unforeseen danger be considered along with efforts to advance along a clearly-charted course. Much of human misfortune comes from unexpected events for which we are ill prepared; when gathered together with others, we are both more powerful and, in some ways, more vulnerable.
Any time of unity is a time of potential greatness. But that greatness can be both positive and negative. Everything is magnified when masses of people unite for a single purpose. When many people unite behind a single goal or strong vision, it is wise to take personal precautions, and to protect your own reasonable self-interests, because these can easily be lost in the crowd.
Well if she wrote that herself she hardly need us to tell her about hex 7
