“The upshot is, if we want a happy love affair, we need to put some hours into having some romance, too. The hour or two we set aside for sensual connection with the Naked Date needs that support to help keep our arousal accessible. That means we want to plan for a bit of romance in our marriage, as well planning for our sexual time, and adapt ourselves to its nature.” RelationshipsMarriageRelationship AdviceMarriage AdviceNaked Marriage Author:JoAnneh Nagler
“The Naked Date is not a time to vent about your controlling boss or discuss your child’s learning disability; it’s not the time to banter about the repairs going on in the kitchen or whether you should put your house on the market. In fact, it’s not a talking event at all. In its purest form, the Naked Date is a time to get sensual, get skin-to-skin, and be close—a time set aside for love, sex, and intimate sensuality. Does it have to be sexual every time? No. But it does need to be close. (...) When you do this week after week, your partner will begin to feel the respect you offer him or her by your willingness to show up. He or she will know that you value your intimate time together, and that you’re willing to set aside your worries and cares and then connect. That’s a huge thing all by itself.” RelationshipsMarriageRelationship AdviceMarriage AdviceNaked Marriage Book:Naked Marriage: How to Have a Lifetime of Love, Sex, Joy, and Happiness Source: Naked Marriage: How to Have a Lifetime of Love, Sex, Joy, and Happiness
“We want the mastery of being able to lead our husband or wife into love. To stop thinking of passion as a hormonal experience for twenty-three-year-olds, and start living it for what it is: an adult, time-bound, mastery-seeking, exquisitely experiential ability to make our partner’s heart and senses go from zero to one hundred, over an adult timeline, just because we led him or her there. Just because we can. That’s what romance is all about. Guiding and awakening, with the expertise of all of our sensual art forms, arousing our lover to love.” RelationshipsMarriageRelationship AdviceMarriage AdviceNaked Marriage Book:Naked Marriage: How to Have a Lifetime of Love, Sex, Joy, and Happiness Source: Naked Marriage: How to Have a Lifetime of Love, Sex, Joy, and Happiness
