My bride's back if finally getting back to normal. Made a few changes to keep it from getting injured again, and moving back into certain things carefully, but we should be back to normal very soon. Except, we won't; because I now have a deeper appreciation for what she does. For about a month I've done most or all of some things that she has done most or all of for 24 years. It's been quite a revelation for me.
If you are interested in a similar education, I suggest the following. Make a list of things that she alone does, or that the vast majority of is done by her. Then do each of those things 100% for a month. One a month, each one for a month.
I dare you.
Get a large jar and start collecting change for some future gift or vacation. Or, just save for a nice date night.
I've seen several references recently that a foot massage is about the best warm up for sex that you can do. The book I am currently reading (by Dr. Amen - more from it when I finish, it's packed some place) explains this - in the brain the part that processes feelings for the feet is right next to the part that processes feelings the clitoris. Apparently the brain can have some overlap going, so a good foot massage may get her brain thinking sex. The author also says a man should go shoe shopping with his wife, as it may unconsciously be a form of foreplay for her!
