TAKE HOME POINTS FROM Dr. MELANIE MODJOROS

1. Take responsibility for every emotion regarding love and intimacy. We have the power to make things better or worse. If we feel stuck and are not actively working towards making things, better, chances are they may be getting worse. Let us not be afraid to talk openly about our feelings with our partner using I statements while fully clothed. This may be hard and uncomfortable and that is okay. If unsure where to start, seek help from a professional.
2. The biggest determining factor for wanting to have sex again is the feelings we have at the end of the last sexual encounter.
3. People always say, “Sex was so easy when we were young and it was never scheduled.”, the truth is, it usually WAS scheduled, we just didn’t think of it that way because the words “SEX DATE” were not on our google calendar. We usually just got dolled up or manned up, shaved our legs or face, and went out on a Friday night or Saturday night date! It is OKAY to schedule sex….call it anything….cocktail night, cuddle night, snuggle puppy party time as one of my dear friends calls it.

WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

• Do I take responsibility for my feelings?
• Do I communicate what I want in bed and why?
• Do I assume my partner has the best intentions at heart?
• Do I believe in any sex myths such as “Men always want sex” or “A man’s erection equals his attraction to me?” If so, why?
• Would scheduling sex be helpful for my marriage?
• Do I enjoy sex?
• Does my spouse enjoy sex?
• How can we enhance our sex life?
