What Can Kids Teach You About Building A Great Relationship And Marriage
Those of you who have read "THE Man's Guide to Great Relationships and Marriage" understand how and why a small boy knows more about attracting a female than most adult males seem to. Have you ever wondered what else you might learn from children about how to be an adult, or at least how to enjoy being one? Ask Dawn:
Dear David,
I am not sure how to word this so it does not sound like I have been spying on my daughter. The truth is at 16 I do watch her closely, probably a lot more than most parents.
There is one major thing that I have noticed about her and her new boyfriend is how they look and talk to each other. At such a young age they seem to understand many of the things you talk about better than most men who have many more years on them. It just seems so open and honest and that the attraction between the two of them is not only red hot but that it is what as an adult I want in a man.
How can it be they know at their tender age so much about attraction and all the older men I know seem to know nothing?
Dawn
My reply:
Well Dawn, it's not what they know, it's what they don't know. In fact, it's what they've not yet learned: inhibition! Their hormones are raging and their youth and inexperience is making the exploration of themselves and each other exciting, so once they get past the awkwardness of the invitation to the first date and get into each other, they could care less about whether they've gained a couple of pounds, they have a little razor stubble, whether the kids might walk through the bedroom door and catch them, what might be going on at work next week, what that noise downstairs might have been, whether the dry cleaning has been picked up, what their friends or family might be doing, or any of the other things that men and women allow to interfere with their "quality time."
They just let go, and do what comes naturally. Granted, their hormones are pushing them hard, but that's merely sauce for the goose. When was the last time that you tried it? You say you want that kind of heat and passion, but who's keeping you from having it, other than yourself? Don't worry about two pounds you gained during the holidays; when the lights are out or his eyes are closed, he'll never be able to tell the difference, except you might feel just a little better pulled up close to him; ribs and hipbones jabbing us is a bit distracting. ;-)
I'd just as quickly chastise the men for letting things interfere with passion in this manner. "Lock the damned bedroom door, for crying out loud! Get yourself up to Alpha Male standards, fire that woman up, and get into her and let her get into you like you did when you were teenagers. Worry about what's going on at work next week when next week gets here, or while you're at work tomorrow morning. Unless that noise downstairs is followed by a scream, a barking animal, an alarm bell, a crash or explosion, or the sound of an adult voice cursing, it can wait until after you and your partner have enjoyed each other."
There is no aphrodisiac in the world that will guarantee good sex tonight or tomorrow night (or in the morning!) like good sex last night! Don't let the world put a damper on your sex life. If you need a little help turning the clock back, go to a drive-in instead of renting a DVD, or get a room in a cheap hotel, not the kind you would rent today, but the kind you rented when you were a teenager and weren't supposed to be renting a room! Add that seedy, naughty flavor to the mix, and play up the mischief, nostalgia, and "getting away with something" angles. A covert quickie in a public place might be more enjoyable -- on occasion -- than the girly dream date with candles and flower petals in the bed or on the mattress. Have fun with it - and each other! It's not just a love life - IT'S AN ADVENTURE!
Take care, and keep in touch,
David
Gentlemen, everywhere you look is something that can help you to revive and enhance your relationship if you know what to look for. Knowing what to look for comes from having that romantic, can-do hero's attitude and knowing what women want. You don't have to be young, rich, powerful, or drive a fancy car to get your wife's attention or any other woman's attention; you just have to be a man, a REAL man who enjoys living and leading as a man, the man she went crazy over and married. A man who still has a sense of adventure and lets his inner child come out to play from time to time.
If you want to keep her attention, you keep her guessing, not at whether you'll be around tomorrow, or have a job next week, but at what kind of laughter and excitement you're going to create for her today. Will it be walking into a room like you own it, telling a grand tale, or whisking her off to some fun place or activity? The choice is yours, and she expects you to make it. Indeed, quite often her mental and emotional survival DEPEND on you making it.
Women have affairs because they are bored, not because they don't love their husbands anymore; lost love comes well after lost attraction, if it comes at all. (And for you ladies reading, the same thing is true of men!) Have you ever heard that bit, "I love you, but I'm not in love with you anymore,"? That "in love" bit is attraction, not love.
By the way, there was a discussion of kissing on our forum, http://forum.makingherhappy.com, recently, and I strongly suggest you gentlemen read it. The women who started the discussion made it sound like being a good kisser can make the difference in keeping attraction alive and finding out your wife is having an affair with a guy who kisses better than you. Don't take my word for it. Read it for yourself and ask them questions. They love to answer. Just pop "kiss" or "kissing" into the forum search box and watch what happens.
All you need to become a master of attraction and supreme boredom-fighter, the confident ultimate male who knows what women, especially his partner, want is contained in "THE Man's Guide to Great Relationships and Marriage," and you procrastinate at reading and using it at your own peril. Get ahead of the curve and stay there by going to http://www.makingherhappy.com and downloading your copy right now, and bring back that passion, intimacy, and honeymoon, because life's too short to spend it playing catch-up.
In the meantime, live well, be well, and have a wonderful day!
