Put Sex on the Calendar
Hey, let’s talk about spontaneity versus making plans. Sure, spontaneity can be awesome, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having a plan in place.
Think about it—when you’ve got a dinner date marked on the calendar, you don’t just leave it up to chance. You think about what to wear, you check out the menu online, and you make sure the babysitter’s all set. Now, sex is no different when it’s on the calendar. It gives you both a chance to plan and get excited about a special night together.
I mean, let’s be real, lots of couples say they’re too busy for intimacy and sex, we hear it all the time! Life gets hectic, the kids always seem to need something, or maybe, Lord forbid, they're sleeping between you! It’s funny when you think about it—we’re pros at scheduling meetings and “hangouts” with friends, but when it comes to scheduling sex, suddenly it’s a different story.
Look, we’re not saying you have to schedule it every time and set an alarm, but in a busy season, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, and that’s totally okay. Once it’s penciled in, you can both be intentional about building anticipation and pursuing one another throughout the day.
And wives, here’s a little tip: sending a flirty text or leaving a sexy voicemail in the mid-afternoon can set things up for the evening.
Remember, sometimes us gals need a little extra time to get in the mood. So husbands, here’s your chance to step up. A few simple acts of service during the day could have you ending up in the driver’s seat tonight.
Throw a load of laundry in
Ask how she is and truly listen
Get her a cup of coffee
Let her sleep in
Non-sexual touch during the day
Text her throughout the day
Speak her love language
Wash the dishes
Take the trash out
Put gas in her car
Now, go fill that calendar up!
