As promised, here is Part 2 of what we started last time: Building the quality of the friendship through hitting the reset button in the bedroom. I’m hoping you’ve had an opportunity to start practicing the first 7 pieces. And I’m hoping you’ll have fun with the next 7! Last time we started with the question…
“How can we get closer and increase our desire for great sex? Is it even possible at our age or at this stage in our relationship?”
The answer is a resounding YES.
All good things take work, right? What is the cliché? “Enjoy what you do and you will never work another day in your life”. Yes, that’s rather tongue in cheek, because I’m very aware that there is often more to the problem than a couple running out of hours in the day. There are often deeper heart issues at work in the problem, and it is certainly not my desire to make light of those wounds. However, thanks to the research being done on relationships we get a little bit of insight into what else is happening in relationships where couples are experiencing a rich and satisfying sex life. According to the Part 1 of this series, couples with a fulfilling sex life are also…

-
Displaying affection in public
-
Speaking kindly and politely to each other
-
Making sex a priority
Ready? Okay, fasten your seatbelts. Couples who report a good sex life are…

Having Weekly Dates
Shopping for groceries is not a date. However, shopping for lingerie together might be. Wherever you live, google the top 10 things to do there, and now you have your next 10 dates planned out. And you look like a genius. By the way, Paint Parties are all the rage these days. You book a pub or restaurant and an artist comes in with all the supplies and shows you how to paint something lovely (no talent required, trust me), while you eat and drink whatever. Google that, too.
