Intmacy and Affection
Friday, May 7th, 2010
Several years ago, Dr. Kevin Leman wrote a book with the provocative title: Sex Begins in the Kitchen. The premise of the book is this: it takes time to create sexual intimacy, particularly for women. Almost all women and some men, need more than sex, they need affection. In as to not confuse you, “sex” and “affection” is not the same thing.
In his book His Needs, Her Needs, Dr. Willard Harley offers men some great suggestions as to how to raise the level of “affection” for their spouse. Here’s what he says:
o Hug and kiss your wife every morning while you’re still in bed.
o Tell her that you love her while you’re having breakfast together.
o Kiss her before you leave for work.
o Call her during the day to see how she’s doing.
o Bring her flowers once in a while as a surprise.
o Gifts for special occasions (birthday, anniversary, Christmas…) should be sentimental, not practical. Learn to shop for a woman.
o After work, call her before you leave for home, so that she can know when to expect you.
o When you arrive home from work, give her a hug and a kiss and spend a few minutes talking to her about how her day went.
o Help with the dishes after dinner.
o Hug and kiss her every night, before you both go to sleep.
When a woman is shown affection properly, sexual intimacy is enhanced as well. This is a tested concept that has been found true time and time again. So men, I suggest you take this list and “test this for yourself”!
