So, how did it go? Are you more in love than you've ever been? Were there fireworks and butterflies? Did you end up doing it MORE than 5 times? Was it a wild success or a flop?
If it flopped, do you know why? If it didn't go over so well this week, don't give up. Next week you could clue him in on your plan. Maybe a more unified goal would work better for you.

I wish we could've done this, but we've been back and forth/out of town/away from each other/exhausted/all over the place for the last week. Maybe next week will be more feasible. At least we got one really good day in :)
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna have to give it another try next week! I decided to give up sugar last week - wayyyy too much will power to do both in a week! I wasn't exactly the nicest to be around! But I'm ready to try this week!
ReplyDeleteWe tried...and then mother nature reared her ugly head. WE made it three nights in a row though so that was pretty freaking sweet! We'll try again when aunt flo takes a hike!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so when I read your challenge I had to smile because for the last month I'd been trying to go a whole week, 7 days in a row. On Monday it was day 5 for us...we made it the whole week plus 2 more days and now my goal has changed for 2 weeks (I know!)
ReplyDeleteI am so madly in love with my husband! I see him in such a different light now. It wasn't that we weren't intimate frequently before, but it is now constantly on our minds. I also find that I am letting things go quicker...not letting things get to me so that I'm not exhausted/frustrated when he gets home so that I'm more in the mood.
Other benefits I've noticed besides the feeling of being newly married (our 9th anniversary is in December) is that I have more patience with our 5 children (ages 7-4 months), I have more energy during the day, also I really feel as beautiful as my husband has been telling I am for years.
This was a great challenge! The benefits of increased intimacy has been such a blessing in more areas than I would have thought of.
We didn't even get a chance to try for 5 days. The hubby works 2 jobs and he's worked almost every night this last week or I've had to work late. But we did get 1 really good night in. At least this week he's off from his 2nd job & I shouldn't be working late at all.
ReplyDeleteI was SO in to this but then after day one I got a UTI. Bleh! So I will be redoing the project as soon as it clears up!
ReplyDeleteAunt Flo came to visit when I read your post, so now I'm gonna try it...I don't think I'm going to tell him, I'm just gonna be raring to go every night...can't wait to see his reaction!
ReplyDeleteThis week was a hard one for us because we were REALLY busy BUT we got 2 in anyway. He's taking some time off this week so we should EASILY be able to make all 5 days.
ReplyDeleteI have noticed when we 'do' it more often, I feel like I'm still the cute, flirty girl he married rather than the chubby Mom I've become. He loves me either way but it's funny how the 'fake it till you make it' thing comes into play. By pretending I'm still as attractive as I was, I FEEL like I am which causes HIM to see me that way. Gotta love a man who can! love me beyond my chub!
The five day challenge was both good and bad for us. My husband and I have been married about 16 months, and at the year point we started fighting a lot- things finally came to a head with my mother in law and I put my foot down, she is extremely overbearing- which caused a lot of problems in our marriage. It seems like it's mostly handeld now - kind of -I guess the best way to put it is things have died down but there are still a lot of unresolved issues. So while we haven't been fighting as much, we also haven't been having sex as much as before. The five day challenge seemed like a good way for me to increase my desire for sex, which it did, but that also caused more problems. Because we hadn't been having very much sex, my husband has not been able to last long enough for me to reach climax. So while we've bonded in some ways, it also exacerbated other problems.

ReplyDeleteMost women don't reach climax via intercourse. There are all kinds of ways for you to orgasm, aside from intercourse. It is just a matter of trying different things. I personally reach mine prior to intercourse.
in the past I have been able to have a g-spot orgasm during sex, it's just been since things have been rocky with our relationship that we've not had very good sex.
