How To Make the Time and Plan for Love.
I
want to explain in more detail the importance of making
the time and planning for love. It has added so much to
my lovemaking with Diane and to the lovemaking of those
to whom we have introduced it, especially busy couples.
Diane and I have been married since 1979.We have three
children and a successful business, but we spend hours
making love because we give our relationship number one
priority. We know how much lovemaking supports our marriage
so we organise our calendar to find the time.
‘I
haven’t got the time’ means something else
in your life is more important. Yet I promise when you
are in your eighties, when your body does not work or
look like it used to, when you get an erection only once
a week and when you come you barely feel it, you will
wish that you had spent more time loving and making love
when you were younger.
Are
you always too busy providing for the family to enjoy
the ultimate act of intimacy? Do not miss it! Do not put
it off! Do not come up with excuses! Find the time for
this greatest of God’s gifts – the ability
to make love.
I
suggest you plan a weekend away together at least six
times a year. Don’t go away to sightsee or shop
or to try out the restaurants the place has to offer.
Take your own food and wine and lock yourself in your
room.
People
often go away for a weekend and only make love at night
as they normally do. Plan the weekend to try out the things
you have read in this book. Perhaps Saturday could be
her day to try the things she wants to and Sunday could
be your day. Even planning and anticipating what you want
to do will bring back the sizzle.
As
I have mentioned earlier, there are a lot of resistances
to planning sex and putting aside the time because this
is not spontaneous or ‘natural’. So very often
sex takes low priority in everyday life because it is
not the exciting, special happening it used to be in the
early days. It is ironic that people spend so much time
and energy preparing for other activities and occasions.
They put these events on their calendars, organise their
business and family around them, wear their best clothes
and go to the hairdressers, yet they cannot find the time
to make love. Surely lovemaking, which is potentially
the most intimate event two human beings can share together,
deserves the same amount of preparation and anticipation.
