In a marriage, there are several moving parts. I mean you have finances that need to maintain, a home to maintain, children to raise and other social obligations to attend to on a regular basis. Sometimes simply grabbing 30 mins to watch a television program with your spouse can be pushing it. In fact, in our house my husband and I are on almost two different schedules so I know at least for us the struggle can be very real. However- if we are not careful not only will begin to not connect with our husbands on a day to day activities we may start to disconnect in the bedroom department as well.
Sex seems to be a topic that no one really wants to discuss. For some reason, once we get married not only do we seem to not want to talk about it but we also don’t seem to want to actually perform it. After all who has time after working all day. The fact remains that sex really is still very much so important in a marriage to keep both the husband and the wife connected. The problem is when a marriage goes through a season of sexual drought it is kinda hard to rekindle the sparks because neither party wants to admit that they are at a loss as to what to do.
So what is a married couple suppose to do in order to light the flames in their sex life?
More times then not both parties involved know that there is a problem in the sexual aspect of their marriage. Surprisingly if left unattended can cause a huge rift in a marriage that no one really wants. So sometimes we have to be willing to take the first steps. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
- Start an open conversation with each other about the things that you like in the bedroom.
- Dare to brave an outfit that your husband would love in the bedroom.
- Send flirtatious texts throughout the day.
- Mix things up a bit and take charge instead of waiting for him to initiate.
- Find moments during the day to simply touch, hug and/or kiss your husband in a flirtatious manner.
- Choose to view sex as a way to show your husband just how much he means to you.
As women, it would be easy for us to say that the sexual aspect should be something that only our husband has control over. Sadly sometimes our husbands are waiting for us to make the first moves.
