Celebrate Intimacy

Red Hot LoveNote. . . Take the time to make yourself desirable. Never let yourself go. In some long-term marriages, couples will often go to bed without showering or bathing, with face or legs covered with stubble, with unbrushed teeth and offensive body odor. No wonder you're not getting any!

Showing little consideration for your partner in this manner is sure to put the skids on the sexual side of your relationship. Not having enough respect for yourself to regulate weight gain is another form of taking the relationship and your partner for granted. It is possible to feel desire, but to not present yourself as desirable and yet expect to receive sexual favors is wrong. Perhaps a little more sexual etiquette is in order.
