I am surprised at how many men go to bed after their wives, or they fall asleep on the couch in front of the TV. Are you crazy? Bed time is the perfect time for the connection she needs. Remember: connection begets closeness which begets more passion which begets increased libido and then more sex.
You should use bedtime as a time for you and your wife. The kids are out of the way, the TV is off, and the house work is on hold (it's never done). It's the perfect time to grow close to your wife. And it's the perfect time to learn about your wife. She'll probably do most of the talking and you can just listen and ask questions and take mental notes as to what she likes and dislikes. You can use this time to help you both relax and let go of the stress of the day.
When you go to bed, lightly caress your wife's hair, shoulders and back. Don't go over and over the same spot – it will become raw. Just put your hand on auto pilot and enjoy her body. She'll love it. And she'll probably want to run her fingers around your body as well. But don't expect sex – just enjoy it for what it is. If she initiates, great – otherwise, just enjoy and be patient. Again – this is filling her emotional tank – it's recharging her passion batteries – so it will not happen over night or even in weeks for some women. When she really trusts you, she'll turn the corner and you will be surprised.
So use bedtime to charge her passion batteries. Connection = closeness = more passion = increase libido = more sex = happier marriage.
This is great advice! (ironically, I’m not following it tonight)
I can’t believe so many guys sit up and watch tv.
