Wifey Wednesdays Blog Tour!

I know I haven't participated much, but today is wifey wednesday, put on by Sheila over at To Love Honor and Vaccuum!

I know that I often have a problem feeling "intimate" or "in the mood"... as I am sure most women do. (Especially now that I am pregnant!)
This is the main topic that Sheila addresses in her book, Honey I Don't Have a Headache Tonight.

Here is the synopsis from her website:
"He says, "you’re never in the mood." She says, "There’s no romance; what do you expect?" It’s a conflict as old as time. We’re told "opposites attract" and we’ve seen it in action, but given time and circumstance, what once lured you in, can quickly lure you out.

When it comes to marriage and the issue of sex, there are two opinions and mind-sets and all too often neither give much ground. It’s an emotionally challenging, physically driven dilemma that brings with it frustration, hurt feelings, anger, and even disrespect.

Women wonder why men were created with the switch always turned on, and men wonder why women were created with so many different switches and no instruction manual.

Romance. Intimacy. Sex. They are not the same thing, although they definitely go together and complete the "big picture." Men equate sex as their currency to feeling loved, while women need the emotional aspect to feel loved – two very different needs and therein lays the problem.

Filled with humor and practical advice, Sheila tackles these issues:

o How change in the sexual relationship requires change elsewhere.
o Why sex for women is often a "head thing."
o How television is the biggest enemy to intimacy.
o Why forgiveness and letting go of the need to be right is so important.
o How self-image issues and past hurts can throw intimacy into a tailspin.
o The repercussions of everyday energy zappers.
o The threats to Godly sexuality.
o The roadblocks of respect.
o
The cultural attacks on gender. "
