If you want real romance, instead
of two people living together, you have to understand love.
When you love someone, you place
them first in your life. This is not a new concept, but we act like
it might be.
Often I have talked to couples with
one or both telling me the other one just does not wish to do this,
do that, go here, desire this, etc. (I am talking about more than sex.)
If you really love someone, they
are in first place . . . ahead of you. This means you have their
desires foremost in mind, not your own. Tough? Yes, especially when
this is not reciprocated.
As to the above picture and having sex?
-
Do not force, ridicule or nag
your lover into doing something they do not wish to do.
-
Find what your lover really likes
and go from there . . . as long as you agree with it.
-
Help them to understand the why's
and the why not's. If you do not try to explain, it will cause resentment.
-
Guys, do not be in such a doggone
hurry. Romanticize your lover . . . and not just in bed.
-
Above all, play fair.
One of the things I do is to read
to my wife while in bed. I tried the colored pencils on her body,
but . . . never mind. Actually, I read at night. Something about the
sound of my voice puts her to sleep.
Keep the bedroom as a place to
romance your lover and to sleep. If you spend a lot of time watching
television or being on the computer in the bedroom, it becomes more
of a den or family room.
Okay, enough said. Now get to work.
