You understand much Zues. My H and I used to talk about how the best way is when you enjoy making your spouse feel loved. And that is so true! That's why God created us to crave it so much - that there is a good and holy way that is far better than any false or imitation substitute. Which also points to His love for us - accept no substitutes for the Real thing. Ugh. And as always, thank you for sharing & being SO open & vulnerable. You really are helping. Can I just say, at least for myself, "men taking the lead" is thrilling but it also means initiating or something other than waiting around for your woman to magically turn into super-slut. Sorry that's harsh but that seems to be the impression. That women should just instantly throw themselves at men or something. The times I've actually tried that it was pretty awkward and felt like I was not being womanly (receptive, open) but rather aggressive, masculine or at least rather whorish. Again, I've never been a prude, etc. IOW, men being in charge also means men initiating and women happily responding. But I could be wrong.

At a counselor, he said he wanted the marriage but not to work on himself w/a IC. Piecing?
