    I'm not trying to condone cheating by any stretch, but a healthy love life should be something that both people work to foster throughout a marriage. Life obviously gets in the way, but if one half doesn't feel like it for months or years at a stretch that's a problem.

    Stop looking at sex as something where everything has to be right and you need to have matching underwear and candles and Marvin Gaye coming back from the dead to serenade just the two of you and the galaxy has to be aligned perfectly so that the stars look like Dr. Ruth cheering you on and the clouds are JUST so in the sky illuminating a path direct to the mythical g-spot.

    It's sex. Have a quickie. Make time for it. Prioritize it (and I know this next part sounds unromantic, but it's better than no sex) like you prioritize the other things you have to do.

    The schedule me and my wife keep is pretty insane. We spend easily 70 to 75 hours between Monday and Friday either at work or commuting, and most of our weekend is taken up doing chores and things we should've done during the week. We REALLY struggle to get even 7 hours of sleep on a good night (and if we do it means we did NOTHING else that day). We often don't have time for all the things we might like to do leading up to the mattress mambo, but we make time for it anyway.

    That being said, some of the best sex I've ever had with my lady were times when she looked at me and said 'alright we've only got 10 minutes, get your a** over here and lets do this'.

    1. Blow him.
    2. Make him a sandwich.
    3. Hand him the television remote.

    or...

    2. Make him a sandwich

    1. Blow him

    Sorry, got them out of order!

    As long as you blow him....the order won't be important. I suggest doing it to wake him up in the morning.

    Remember, "Nothing says 'I love you' like a *kitten* in the morning."

    Truth.

    This is really awesome advice, and very much what sex is like in real life.
