YES YES YES to #5! Gross, clutter, etc. is not sexy or romantic.

I think most realities are based on the perception. Sounds backwards doesn’t it? One issue with setting a periodicity for make love is that some couples will see that as a guideline for their relationship and even use it as leverage to increase or reduce their participation in making love. I think the example for most couples would be better served if it asked for each to be intimate every Monday…and the physical nature of that activity could be defined by the individual couples.

Re “go for a walk,” I met a friend yesterday – they recently got a dog and she was worried about having to take her outside daily. But yesterday she reported, “this is the best thing that happened to our marriage in a LONG time! Each night after dinner we go outside together for a 30-minute walk. And we actually TALK!”

Well, you are bound to get some interesting responses to point #3. I have to admit, I never really considered Sex Timing Optimization strategies… but perhaps I should! I noticed Heather (above) is putting this to the test. Maybe you could do a future post about her results. =-)

Thanks for a thought provoking post (I’m sure my hubbie will thank you too!)

Great post. My husband and I fear the default of just becoming business partners during this time of hard work and kiddos. This post reminds me to be intentional and not let the default pattern have its way.

Speaking of #3, I’m talking about how God created us to need sleep today at: http://burningbushes.org/

I read this post recently as I’ve been going through the archives. So far I’ve been successful with #3 two weeks in a row! It’s not foolproof for a perfect week, but it sure is nice to start the week together.
