It’s time to talk about sex, ladies.

Your man needs and wants sex, probably more than you do.

If a man feels like he’s desirable to you, the love of his life, the other areas that he may be struggling in (work, parenting, etc.) seem somehow more manageable.

One time this week, it’s your job to initiate sex. For some of you, this is going to be way beyond your comfort zone. Do what you can – if it means snuggling, do that. The idea here is to take the first step and be open and tender.

In my experience, it’s better to shoot for earlier in the week to “make your move,” so that if things come up (he has to work late, sick kids, etc.) you still have some time to check this off your list.

In preparation for your romantic evening, I encourage you to pick up a book on the subject. Let it be your inspiration in case things have become a little predictable (or downright non-existent).

Two of my favorites, both written by Dr. Kevin Leman
“Sex Begins in the Kitchen” & “Sheet Music”

Just a reminder, ladies…each week there’s a Bonus Project, to be completed at the time of your choice within the next seven days.

How’s your lingerie wardrobe? Was the last teddy you bought a week before your wedding?

One night this week: Wear something sexy to sleep in. It doesn’t need to be one of Victoria’s sweet nothings. Perhaps just a silky nightshirt or a lacy camisole; the goal is to dump the Nike t-shirt you normally sport.

It’s your job to make sure that sleep is not all that happens in your pretty new nighty.

Make the extra effort to feel great about yourself – you know that some of that mood will rub off on your husband.

Prayer for Today
Dear God, sometimes I see sex as a burden instead of the gift it is for our marriage. Please help me feel confident in the area of our sex life.

One time this week: Time to clear out the house. If you have kids, send them to grandma’s for the night. If you have a regular bunco game, skip it. Cancel appointments with your friends and make one with your husband. Let him know early in the day what you would like to do tonight. This could be one of his better workdays in a long time.

Hey ladies -

 I am in the final stretch of The Husband Project book and I need your help.

Today, I am looking for stories of:

1.  a time you took your husband out to dinner or watched a movie together

2. any changes you have seen in your husband, yourself or in your household since doing the husband project

I am writing those chapters of the book right now and could really use some examples.

If I use your story (or stories), you will recieve a copy of the book when it is published.

 Thanks ladies – I know you have some great stories to share!

So this is going to be a crazy week – followed by another crazy week. I need to spend some time cooking ahead so that the troops around here can eat. Trying to find recipes that will fill everyone up (three teenagers with the appetites roughly equivalent to those of professional football players) is a challenge, but this is one of Roger’s favorites- so maybe your guy will love it, too.
