Ok so quickly I located the SSM post and read the first chapter. I admit that I have been the reason for his unhappiness for the lack of sex in our relationship these last few years so I have been the instigator for the last few weeks (not that he hasn't flirted and intigated also). As I was reading the first chapter I ran across this excerpt....

"They’re nicer, more thoughtful, kinder, more loving, affectionate and more communicative. It’s a simple law of human nature. When you show your caring to your more highly sexed spouse by making sex a bigger priority in your marriage, s/he will appreciate your efforts and become more caring towards you. You will see it in his or her eyes. You’ll start getting love notes and witness random acts of kindness. Your spouse will begin to open up and be decidedly more interested in you as a person. He’ll stop what he’s doing to hear about something you find interesting on television."

Since I have been more aggressive in initiating sex I have noticed everything stated above - he has shown interest in my days, he is more attentive, he calls more often, we catch each others eyes more often, he stops what he's doing to listen to me, etc.

I'm keeping my journal and I'm seeing results but I have a major problem wiht patience!!
