ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS
Question for a marriage counselor Hubby asks how do you keep the fires going after lots of years (he can't remember how many with three kids—two who still walk in on us).


Marriage Counselors reply
Take the photographs and exercise bike out of the bed room and use that room only for sex and sleep. Think back to great sex you had. Tell him the story of it. Remind him of how hot he was. Sex, like love, must be worked at. It won't maintain itself. I wish there was a magic wand, but, if you begin to re-think your bedroom, that may help. As for the kids, they need to learn that just as they don't want you to walk in on them when they are with friends, you need private time, too.
