Re: Join our Sexathon! Enter to Win 4 Nights in St. Lucia
Every few weeks we have a special "date night" where we actually LEAVE the house and go out to have drinks and dinner. When we come home we make an effort to set the mood with nice candles, sometimes a bubble bath, and occasionally giving each other massages.
During the week, we try to keep things spicy by sending a sexy text on the way home from work to build up the excitement for later, and to make sure we make time for sex and fulfilling each other's needs. Even if one partner isn't really in the mood, we try to not put sex off and just live in the moment and enjoy each other because otherwise we could end up putting sex off for weeks before we find a time where our libidos are totally in sync.

We make sure to plan time for just the two of us - and just taking the time makes a world of difference!
#1 - we don't have a TV in our room!
While renovating our house is completely consuming our energy and finances, we have home-dates. our most recent - wine & fresh fruits and cheeses shared in our jetted tub.
We tend to take our daily life frustrations out by playing silly little games like who can stick a finger in each other's nose first -- don't ask how it got started, it just did and it's absolutely hilarious. So, while we are wrestling and swatting each other's arms away and laughing our butts off it usually leads to more steamier moments, if you know what I mean
Sex is so much more than doing it...
+ Get mentally prepared! Think about your wedding, what it ment, how you felt, your love for him
+Pray for your intimacy as a couple
+ Let him RELAX when he gets home and treat him with the respect he needs
+Put a good meal on the table and enjoy it
+Welcome him to a sexy, candlelit bedroom, and look your best
+Be present, clear your mind, and enjoy

If we're super-in-need of a night together, I'll bust out the lingerie when he's least expecting it. That's an instant mood creator.
My husband and I went through a very difficult labor with our daughter. Fortunately, our little angel survived and went on to live a healthy life. However, I can not say the same about our intimacy level. Over the next year my husband and I barely touched each other. We were still madly in love but all of our energy and time went towards work and the kids. Finally, we realized that the lack of emotional bonding was not helping our marriage. At that point, we discussed many options of how we would turn things around.
My husband and I now enjoy our own "story time" after the kids are in bed. I will call my husband at work and read him a chapter out of a sexy novel or send him parts of a story in an email. Sometimes we will sit down after the house is quiet and read something sultry to each other or even make up our own intimate stories. Not only has story time allowed us to experiment with different fantasies, but it has also brought back the laughter and lust that was hiding for so many months. Our motto... It's always healthy to sit down with a good book!

I like to wake my man up in the morning ready to go! It'll be a complete surprise if he's fast asleep, but it always seems very welcomed and a great way to start the day.
I also try to occasionally initiate sex at a less obvious time and location. Like the other night when we were doing taxes in the office. Who knew taxes could be sexy?
It keeps him on his toes and keeps things spicy.
"we-showers;" pull his pants down in the kitchen and say hello; our very own super bowl half-time show; making sure our toy drawer is updated often and fully stocked with batteries; movie-night-snuggle-buggle-time; "midnight rapes;" hot and steamy pics/texts/emails/videos when he travels to make sure he knows I'm at home ready and waiting as soon as he walks back thru the door.

For starters, to keep our sex lives steamy and hot, we have a no TV or pets in the bedroom policy; it allows us one space in the house that we can completely be alone. We also send each other emails, texts, and, yes, sometimes images, throughout the day explicitly indicating what we want to do to each other when we get home. That way, by the time we get home we can?t wait to rip the clothes off of each other. We also like to try new positions, toys, etc. It?s important to keep things fresh. Finally, I like to surprise him by either being in lingerie and heels when he gets home or by sneaking upstairs and then calling him up to come help me with something. The smile on his face is always priceless and the surprise never fails to get us in the mood.
I like to send him cute sexy text messages through out our days building up till that evening. As well someone at our church encouraged us to have our very own restraunt we go to. So where we live we have one place that is special to us. We do not take friends or family there, but it is our very intimate restraunt that sets the mood for the rest of our evening together, every time.
