Put your sex life on the top of your to-do list and experience a rekindling of passion and connection unlike any other. <\/span><\/p>\n After a rather long, dull day at work the last thing on your mind when you walk through the door is sex. The very idea of trying to be sexy sounds exhausting. All you want to do is get dinner going, put the kids to sleep, finish up some work tasks, scroll through social media while watching your favorite show, and sleep! <\/span><\/p>\n You are not alone; studies show that up to 75% of couples report a lack of time as a major challenge for them in their sex lives.<\/span><\/p>\n The truth is that it is less a lack of time and more a lack of prioritization. <\/span><\/p>\n How do we know this? Think of how often you’ve had no extra time and yet, when an emergency comes up or a new responsibility is added to your tasks, you are able to move your life around so that you can accommodate it. <\/span><\/p>\n The amount of time we have doesn’t change, yet we are consistently changing how we spend it based on our priorities. <\/span><\/p>\n The key to rekindling the passion in your marriage is to put sex on the top of your priority list. <\/span><\/p>\n Here are 5 tips to get you started <\/b><\/p>\n If you’re not the type of person who thinks about sex at various times throughout the day, <\/span>schedule some time to yourself to fantasize<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n Try taking 5 minutes to yourself, close your eyes, and visualize the hottest sex you and your partner have ever had in your relationship together. Immerse yourself in the experience by recalling memories of all five senses. <\/span><\/p>\n What did your surroundings look, sound, smell, taste and feel like? <\/span><\/p>\n What was it about your partner’s looks, sounds, smell, touch, and taste that made you desire them so intensely? Try really visualizing yourself back at that moment for a full 5 minutes. By doing this on a regular basis you will increase your awareness of your libido and sensuality, thus being more open to sex with your partner. <\/span><\/p>\n On the other hand, if you are someone who thinks about sex throughout the day, channel that sexual energy directly to your partner. Refrain from masturbating to keep yourself sexually charged, <\/span>send a dirty text to your partner<\/span><\/a>, schedule a date night, or do that thing your partner can never resist on regular basis. <\/span><\/p>\n Some people are under the impression that talking about sex isn’t sexy. <\/span><\/p>\n Communication, however, is a crucial part of sex. Although it might produce anxiety at first, the more often you talk about sex, the more likely you’ll find it productive for your sexual satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n When you do make the effort to talk about sex, make sure it’s not in bed, stick to one topic, and steer clear of any criticism. Instead, make suggestions or share what you really love that they do to promote more of what’s good. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>You want to be sexually intimate but there is just no good time<\/span><\/h2>\n
