Have fun reading the simple tips and advice for you and your partner to use.

Recently, we came across a concept called "The Fun Theory". Checking out the accompanying site: The Fun Theory , we find …

This site is dedicated to the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behaviour for the better. Be it for yourself, for the environment, or for something entirely different, the only thing that matters is that it’s change for the better.

We especially liked the YouTube video about the piano staircase! In this video, they demonstrated that people preferred climbing stairs rather than taking the escalator—when it was fun to climb them!

Your marriage is the most important enterprise you’re involved in! Transferring the results of these fun theory experiments, we can conclude that the more fun you integrate into your marriage—the more successful it will be! Of course, sex is designed to be fun—but it is easy to slip into routine and boredom in the bedroom. What is the answer to rejuvenate your intimacy? Fun! Make fun your goal when enhancing intimacy!

… about the 59 year old woman who lost her short term memory after having sex?! If you think you’ve got it bad—reconsider when you read this lady’s story! Count your blessings that you don’t have the same medical condition! (For the overwhelmingly vast majority of us, we have the opportunity to enhance our sexual lives; apparently, there are a few people who have medical hurdles to overcome that most of us don’t have to face).

The doctors eventually diagnosed her with what at first appeared to be a baffling medical condition: transient global amnesia. With TGA, the blood flow to the brain may get restricted after intense physical activity. Read the entire story here.

... and have you heard about the girl who was having troubles with her boyfriend? Obviously, she is not a regular reader of www.the-intimate-couple.com :-), and called 911 to report her relationship emergency!

Sorry to say it, but we guess one person’s emergency is another person’s crank call! The poor girl was arrested for using 911 for a non-emergency call! Read the entire story here.

Question: Is a little wine alright before sexual romance?

Answer: There is no Biblical basis for thinking anything is wrong with having some wine before romance and sex with your wife. Jesus Himself miraculously turned water into wine at a wedding. Just make sure that there is no drunkenness--which is not pleasing to the Lord (Ephesians 5:18).

That being said, some studies have shown that alcohol actually works to inhibit sexual arousal...

Question: My husband and I have sex not so often. He has gained weight in the chest area (man boobs) and they are very visible. When we have sex, I can't get that out my head, and I just can't focus on him. I think that it turns me off sometimes. What can I do to avoid a sexless marriage?

Answer: Distractions have to be dealt with in appropriate ways! Let's face it, we all could be distracted when having sex--because no one has the perfect body! And so, besides attempting to adjust the circumstances themselves if at all possible, we need to develop strategies to curb our thoughts. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Mental Adjustment:
-When the thought (of your husband's excess weight) enters your mind, turn that into a reminder to pray for your husband. Pray for his health (after all, excess weight is a problem...),and then thank the Lord for the qualities in his life that you are grateful for.

-Focus on what you do appreciate about your husband! The challenge in much of society today is that our impression of others is based so much on outward appearance. Meanwhile, some very over-weight folks are some of the kindest people! What were some of the character qualities that attracted you to your husband? Though his physique may have changed, many of his character strengths may not have.

2. Physical Adjustments:
-Make love in the dark.
-If you undress your husband during sex, you could in a very natural way keep him partially clothed during sex... ie don't take off his t-shirt.

Sexual intimacy is an integral part of a marriage relationship. For the sake of your marriage, it may be necessary for you to mention the challenge you have in regards to his being overweight. Just be sure to be very respectful and sensitive when you talk to him about his weight. Perhaps you could mention to your husband that you miss being able to have sex with "him on top" or whatever positions have become difficult because of his weight. In this way, you aren't necessarily blaming him or stating he is overweight. Instead, he may realize that you do want to have sex with him. Knowing that you desire him might make him decide to become more physically fit. Good fitness has many health benefits, including better sex!
