I grew up listening to your program with my mother. So, when I got engaged seven years ago, I bought a copy of "
The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands" for myself! I try to read it annually leading up to our wedding anniversary, but the last three years, the tradition slacked a bit, because I had two babies two years apart. It's been busy and neither of my kids is fond of sleeping!
Still, I was properly caring and feeding for my husband (or so I thought) until I came to the "What's Sex?" chapter. An opening quote from a listener reads "Sex is to a husband what conversation is to a wife." I read that phrase to my husband the other day while we had a quiet kids-free moment in the kitchen. He smiled, grabbed my toosh and said "Well, let's get talkin'!" Our life has been more "smiley" since. I am happier, and my husband's kisses are deeper like when we were dating (something I've missed). Thanks for reminding us wives that sex really is THAT important!
