sandi, another outstanding post. You really should write a book.

Jim, I've been doing a lot of what sandi is saying here, and yes it does pay dividends. No doubt about it. My wife calls and texts me throughout the day now just to tell me fun stuff or to talk. 3 months ago she never contacted me unless there was something pressing. We are having sex again, and lots of it.

I attribute a lot of it to doing exactly what sandi is saying here. Don't underestimate the power of LISTENING to your wife. Just let her talk. Just listen to her go. Don't try to interject, give advice or fix. Just LISTEN. They love it. It is like verbal foreplay.

Also, the non-sexual touching is key. Put your hand on the small of her back as you pass behind her in the kitchen. Reach down and pat her knee as you walk by her sitting in the living room. Reach over and scratch her back in the morning as she is lying in bed.

Sandi, I can't wait to incorporate the whispering thought as I stroke her cheek. My wife turns 50 tomorrow and she is freaking out about it. A lot of what you said about product marketing, and the cute dresses she sees that she wishes she could wear are SPOT on.

Jim try some of this stuff. It is like magic.
