Summer is here, and I hope that you have a bit more time and energy to slow down, relax, take care of yourself, and enjoy your marriage. Because summer should be a little bit of a respite from the school year – just the business-as-usual year, if you don’t have kids in school.
And if you don’t have more time or energy right now, I encourage you to create some space in your life for both – even if only for a couple of months. Because summer should be a time when you sit back a little bit and enjoy life a little bit more.
One of the things I’m trying to do this summer is to invest a bit more time and energy in my marriage. For me, this seems like a good time to slow down a bit and really enjoy spending time with my husband.
And I encourage you to do the same. Think of the summer as a time to give the two of you a bit more attention. Take the time to slow down, spend some relaxing time together, and invest some time and energy in sex and intimacy.
