libido

So I wrote you recently how a podcast had opened my eyes to all those Hollywood writers (whose techniques, as a writer, I thought I was studying, but who suck me in just the same).

If there’s any possible time when my husband doesn’t respond to me like a guy in the movies, I’m pretty sure it’s me, and my subpar level of attractiveness.

Basically, if I’m amazing enough, my husband will want me right. Now.

Because all those hours at work, the commute, the game of catch with the kids in the yard, the bills he paid after they hit the sack, and that argument with a surly teenager didn’t drain this (fictional) version of a husband one bit. Um. Not to mention one leeeetle sarcastic comment from his undoubtedly surpassingly-attractive wife.

No libido-suckers there.

Let’s get it on.

But in response to a recent post on FamilyLife’s Facebook page, FamilyLife requested an article from me for wives in the other 20%–that is, the 1 in 5 women who have a higher libido than their husbands. (True story.)

Today I’m writing over at FamilyLife.com for those of you occasionally encountering painful questions when your husband doesn’t respond sexually–and perhaps are dealing with some sexual frustration.

If you hop over and check it out, I won’t tell. (Or know.)

Keep fighting for closeness. These incredibly weird, uncomfortable conversations matter.
