Would this Make you or Break you?

The Guardian posted an article about a Sex Boot Camp, where for 101 days you have sex every day with your partner. It got us chatting elsewhere about would it Make you or Break you.

For us (me and D) we tend to forget to have closeness time, where we shut out all the distractions such as TV, Video Games, Internet, Email etc. When was the last time you sat down and just chatted to your other half? For me it was last Friday we lay cuddling close in the dark talking. It was so nice just to do that and talk for once with no children interupting us and nothing to distract us.

I like our intimate moments but I think if I had to make an effort for 101 days I would just start groaning and dreading it. Yet if we were just to lie together talking then I wouldn't see it as a chore as such more a quality time thing. I don't think we need to have sexual contact on a daily basis but that we need to make time for us as a couple to talk and enjoy our time together. A marriage/relationship is made up of lots of different things and quality time, sex, hugging and kissing are just little parts which all come together. It's the making time for each other which I feel is the most important thing for us to just keep talking as so many couples forget how to talk these days.

So would it make or break you? I think it would break me.

Now that's interesting. I think we are like you, just don't get time to enjoy eachother as much as we should, however, now we are both older, sex isn't as important as the time to talk so I don't know.

Over Christmas holidays, Alexander asked to go to the childminders every day, and as we were paying anyway, we took him there for a few hours and we went out shopping, or for lunch. It was lovely, and we both said we felt much happier because of it.
