Day 6: The best kind of surprise
Tonight at bedtime, give your husband the best kind of surprise! Pull out that lingerie that you haven't worn in so long, snuggle up to him, play footsie under the covers, or something else that signals that you are approaching him for some intimacy. Then enjoy the evening!
Bonus points if you send him a sexually flirtatious message earlier in the day! (It's guaranteed to put a private smile on his face, no matter who is around when he reads it!)
Coach's Corner:
The research shows that 85% of all men are deeply pleased when their wives show that they desire them. And when you flirt and are sexually playful, you tell him not only that he is desirable to you, but that you care about him and that you like being with him in that way. If your husband is like most men, all those things will be very meaningful to him.
While the majority of men tend to want sex a bit more frequently than women, that desire isn't universal. On our surveys and other studies on this, approximately somewhere between 10-20% of couples were flipped, with the wife having the greater desire for physical intimacy. If that applies to you, read this article for insight, and consider how you might respond given how your husband is wired.
