Change Your Bedding, Change Your Sex Life

Even though the title might suggest such, I’m not about to tell you how to salvage a slumping sex life by simply putting fresh sheets on your bed. (Although, if it has been weeks since you changed them, I could see how that might help.) Rather, I’m talking a makeover for your bed. Courtney, you do realize we’re in the midst of recession, right? Weren’t you the one freaking out about it not too long ago and coming up with ways to survive it without spending a lot of cash? Why, what a great memory you have! Yes, in fact … Continue reading →

Marriage, Love & Sex

There is a distinct relationship between love, sex and marriage. In an ideal world, sex is a natural component to love and marriage. However, we often confuse and blur the lines whether it’s based on personal experience, popular culture or something else. There is a statement that I read in a relationship guide book once that said: men need to have sex to feel loved while women need to feel loved to have sex.

Why Nookie Should Be on Your Christmas Wish List

On Friday afternoon I happened to catch an interesting report on MSNBC. (Or maybe it was Headline News. I was in a post-Christmas shopping stupor at that point so I may have my channels confused.

Pleasure Your Mate Month: Come to Your Senses

The month of September marks a lot of strange holidays and events, among them Pleasure Your Mate Month. Have you stopped to think about pleasuring your mate recently? What about the level of intimacy in your marriage or how to make your marriage sexier? Sex and marriage is a tricky –sometimes touchy (no pun intended)—- topic, but it’s important to keep a marriage sensual. But it’s also hard. Kids, work, schedules, deadlines, chores…they all conspire to suck the sexy out of marriage. There isn’t always enough time in the day, or energy at the end of one, to tend to … Continue reading →

No Longer Attracted to Your Spouse?

Sex is no doubt a very important part of marriage; but it is just that—a part. As some people come to a dry spell in their relationship not finding their spouse as appealing sexually as they once had, the temptations of extramarital affairs might come to mind, divorce, resentment and blame, or even depression. It’s important to reel yourself back to the heart of marriage which hopefully wasn’t based solely on sexual attraction but on genuine love and devotion. My hope too is that you are married to your very best friend and meant every single word of your marriage … Continue reading →
