The Big S.

Sorry group. This week it gets a little pg-13. But remember when you were a little kid and the S-e-x word was something you tiptoed around, and then when you were a little older your parents sat you down and gave you the awkward birds and the bees talk? Well actually I dont remember any of that because, mad props to my parents, we never had the awkward talk. It was a wide open topic and there was never any blushing involved. Some days I look back and am like shoot I can't believe half the things we talked about at our dinner table. Anywho I am sure some of you can relate to scenario one and some can relate to scenario two. Which ever way you remember it, in class this week we had that coversation again. Except this time we are all adults, and it wasnt the how it works it was more why it works. In marriage, having a healthy active sex life is a good predictor of how your marriage is going. According to my teacher who is also a family therapist, the majority of patients who hadn't been intimate in years and were on the verge of divorce were encouraged to begin being intimate once again. A simple back rub, a kiss longer than a two second peck and even a hug were where they were to begin. These patients who followed the instructions were once again satisfied and their marriages were in tact. The big S word is meant to fortify a marriage. It is meant to bring trust, pleasure, and communication into a lawfully wedded companionship. Welp. Now im blusing because I don't really know how to all of a sudden just change the subject to the fact that yesterday we did absolutely nothing except for sit on the couch all day. And by all day I mean we literally didn't move until 6 which then we got up to go get an asphalt pie, and the night before that we went out and got the most amazing oreopie shake and immediatly came home and ate it in our bed. Call us fatties, call us bums, call us introverts. We call ourselves practicing for our vacation to the island. Which all we will do is eat all sorts of dessrets and lay on the beach. (with the occasional parasailing adventure, kyaking adventure and tandum bike adventure). 6 WEEKS my friends 6 weeks. 

Hope your weekend was as sweet as ours.
