Many men believe the misconception that after the honeymoon all love making is over. They believe that a woman’s sex drive plunges after a couple of years of marriage. The plunge, I believe, has nothing to do with the marriage license.
Before marriage, women have fewer responsibilities. They take care of themselves and have no other bodies that need to be cleaned-up or fed. After a few years of marriage, babies begin to come into the picture. Women then have an added responsibility, added emotional stress, and fewer hours of sleep. Their bodies change in ways they had never imagined possible. So are they in the mood less- yes. However, exhaustion plays a huge part. Sleeping together (actual sleep) sounds much more romantic.
As the babies begin to grow the exhaustion moves from lack of sleep to racing to ball practice, getting homework, laundry, and meals. While doing all of these things, she works a forty-hour a week job. Once again a hot bath and a quiet moment are what turns her on.
As a woman ages, she may notice signs of weight gain, gray hairs, and wrinkles. If she feels tired, overworked, and taken for granted, she may not feel sexy any more. She may not have the chance to get all dressed-up and actually apply make-up and fix her hair without a toddler around her legs and a baby screaming in the background.
So guys, if you truly feel that your wife is just not in the mood, try washing the dishes, cooking the supper, and putting in a load of clothes. Keep the children out of the bathroom. Allow her to take a bath, get fixed up, and go out on the town as a woman (your wife) and not as a mother. You may be surprised at how fast the lingerie comes out of the closet!
