....Wait, what's the point of Redbook? I'm not sure what you're saying...
What is a 180? And what do you mean about using caution? Sorry, I just want to be clear what you're saying.
The point of Redbook magazine, was that you were asking about what men think and what motivates them sexually. Redbook usually has several articles each month on those topics along with articles on things that wives with young children should know. It is written for the Cosmo Girl who has found her husband and wants "it all."
Sex and intimacy in marriage (in my opinion) are very very important. As such I view it as somebody needs to do the initiating if one party stops. There comes a point where initiating is pressuring the other partner, but until that point is reached, I feel that (in my marriage) the benefits of sex outweigh the burden of initiating.
That is why I said to be cautious unless your lack of initiating was part of a 180 that was designed to change the dynamic in your relationship for the better.
Good luck to you.
