“I Had To Lose Myself So I Could Love You Better”

My husband and I have been a couple for the past 10 years. This summer marked our seventh wedding anniversary.

Is Scheduling Sex A Do Or A Don’t?

I'm about to make some highly un-sexy confessions here. For a while, when my mojo was missing and our sex life was on the fritz, I began tracking how often my husband and I had sex to see if our frequency issues were a real thing or just a figment of my imagination. What I found out was nope, I wasn't imagining things. We were in a slump. Slumps mean different things for different couples, … [Continue reading...]

This Married Couple Has Sex EVERY Day? 3 Lessons We Could All Learn About Love And Intimacy

My BFF-in-the-head Demetria Lucas, blogger at A Belle in Brooklyn and star of Bravo's new show Blood, Sweat and Heels, recently wrote a post about a couple she knows who has sex every single day.

Three Simple Gifts To Show Your Spouse You Care All Year Long

Valentine's Day is coming up, one day of the year that we are encouraged to show our loved ones how much we care through gifts and acts of kindness, but I've never been a fan. A simple handmade card and perhaps some baked cookies are all I will give my husband, and a heart shaped box of chocolates for my daughter. Maybe it's my stubborn nature, but I don't want to feel like I have to go out and … [Continue reading...]

[Let’s Get It On] 3 Reasons Why You Should Initiate Sex More Often

Somewhere around year three of our marriage (read: our kids were 3 and 2), I was lying in bed with my husband after a long day and realized he was planning to go to sleep without us, you know, being intimate.
