Make love every day

For Bob and Anna, finding time to make love is difficult, to say the least. With two teenagers, soccer matches, music lessons, parent/teacher conferences, work, mortgage, bills, and a grinding routine, their sex life has taken a back seat. (In fact, the back seat has been out of the question for years!)

Judy is nursing and John puts in long hours at work. It seems they’ve gotten out of sync. When one is up for it, the other is exhausted.

So this article couldn’t possibly apply to these couples, right?

Wrong.

We often lose track of the importance of intimacy in our marriage. Wives turn into moms, husband’s become dads and soon the romance fades. It doesn’t have to be like that.

Here are ten ideas to, as the Beatles put it, “get back to where you once belonged.”

There are a lot more ways to make love than just the Big One

There isn’t just ‘First, Second, and Third Base’, there are a whole lot of bases. Even just holding hands can be sexy if done right.

Public foreplay

Don’t sit across from each other in a restaurant, sit right next to each other and let your thighs touch.

Instead of holding hands at the movie theatre, rest your hand on each other’s leg for the entire show.

Let the grandparents have the kids for the evening, and then find a safe place to park. Yes, we mean PARK; kiss and pet like a couple of teenagers without “going all the way” (we don’t want you getting arrested!)

Bed etiquette

If he’s hot and you’re too tired, why not cuddle him, maybe run your fingers through his hair whilst he “takes matters into his own hands”?

If you’re both tired and not in the mood, cuddle for a while; that can be sexy too.

A benefit of doing steps 1 and 2 above is sometimes they will kick things into gear. In that case – go for it!

Utilize the grandparents for a whole weekend

Believe us, you’ll be amazed at what an empty house can do!

Read to each other

Find a book you both like and take turns reading to each other in bed.

Kiss . . . often

Sometimes just a light peck, other times the full meal deal. Whatever feels right at the moment. You’ve got lips… use ’em!

Fix her breakfast in bed

If you’re a good cook – great! If you’re a bad cook, pour her some cereal… it’s the gesture that counts.

Fix him dessert in bed

Nothing better than seeing his beautiful woman carrying a plate of goodies to bed. Even better if she does it naked!

Bring her flowers; it still works

Yeah, it may seem old-school, but remember, Love is old school. (It’s been around a long time.)

Dress sexy for him; it still works

This is probably the one thing your man misses most. And, ladies, stop griping that the thong is too uncomfortable. You won’t be wearing it for long.
