Don't have much to add, but as a Catholic HDW with a LDH, I struggle with the MB thing too and totally understand where you are coming from, HP. I also MB a lot when single and early in the marriage, then stopped when I came back to the Church. The first year was the hardest by far, I think just because I was breaking the habit. Now it is MUCH easier for me, though having 2 kids clinging to me at all hours leaves less room in my mind for sex anyway. Give it time, it may get easier; that's been my experience. The only good that came from the difficulty is that it encouraged me to seek confession more often, which I was loathe to do before.
