When you have a fun trip coming up, you are looking forward to it.

When there's a big game or a big event in your child's life coming…

When a child is going to be born…

When you get to move into the new house…

When you get to see a long-lost friend once again…

When you're next going to have sex together…  WHAT?

For many married couples the anticipation of sex isn't there.

After all, you can have it "any" time (but  you don't much anymore).

For this weekend I suggest you make a "sex date" with each other this weeekend.

Decide where and when you're going to rendezvous.

If you already have a time you normally have sex on the weekend, change it.

Instead of Sunday afternoon (or in addition) make a different time.

And spice it up.

Decide you're going to do something sexually you haven't for a long time.

Or something new.

Talk about it in advance – that's the most important part of this.

OK, what is sex?

You decide.

If it's intercourse, sure.

If it's exchanging backrubs then that.

Another time we'll talk about what sex is.

For now, just make that date.

Shane in Springfield, Missouri has a problem with his wife. He says that after a long day at work, he just wants to unwind a bit. His wife, on the other hand, wants to tell him every detail of her day.

Steve, this problem is really common for married couples to have. In my book, I explain the intimacy paradox, which says that in a great marriage, you want to achieve 100% acceptance of yourself and 100% acceptance of your partner. This means accepting her behavior of telling you everything about herself when you are tired. See if you can tell her that you need to unwind a bit, and that you will listen to her during dinner. But make sure that after she does give you a bit of time to unwind, you really listen to her, and not just let your eyes glaze over. If you get into a good routine, soon you will both be enjoying these conversations.
