I responded to a post on one of my favorite blogs and thought I’d share with you!
What Blaire points to is the one of the things that tends to kill of most long term relationships/marriages (lack of sex). It’s true, most women need attentiveness from their mate in order to feel amorous towards them. It doesn’t mean focusing ALL attention on her ALL the time, but it’s the reason couples are being urged to have “date nights.”
Most of the women I know in LTR’s number 1 complaint is that they never go out anymore and/or that “he” doesn’t do nice things for them anymore.
In turn they stop getting “pretty” for him and he complains that she looks a mess. The only solution to this is communication. Women have a responsibility to keep themselves looking nice (yes I said it and so what!) and men have a responsibility to tend their their woman’s attention needs. For all my mother’s out there, it may mean having your honey watch the kids or pay for a babysitter while you go to the salon, spa, or gym to tend to your beauty regimen and guys it may mean putting “girlfriend or wife time” into your calendar so you don’t forget!
This is the game of how relationships work and if you don’t want to play, stay single!
What do you think?
