Daily Posts for The Couples' Spot

Some of you have been wondering why we didn't post every day in May.  Well, here is the scoop...

We moved from Indiana to Colorado the first of May and things have been a little crazy.  Now, that we are getting settled I, Janelle, am back to sharing in the posts with Rob.  We tend to switch off every other day.  So, I just wanted to let you know that we are back on schedule :)  On top of that I am starting a new blog as well, Reconnect With Your Soul.  It will also be a daily blog (though it may start as every other day).  So, feel free to check it out.  It may resonate with you, too.

I hope you will be excited to have daily posts again, and we are sorry that that didn't happen this past month.

Love,
Janelle

Drag Out Some Old Photos

Today is a great day to drag out some old photos and put them out and about in your house.  You don't have to make it a major project.  Just grab a few out of the drawn and make a collage like the one about.  You could even get a board that would let you change the pictures often, then once a month swap out the pictures for new ones out of that drawer where they are stored.  You will be amazed at the way it will bring up great memories and get conversation rolling.

Sexy Is In The Eye Of The Beholder

There are so many people out there today with body image problems.  We are bombarded with images of bodies with not an ounce of body fat on them.  This can lead to some real problems in our relationships.  When we are in a relationship we want to share our body with our partner we want them to worship our nakedness.  But, when we don't measure up to the images on the magazines (Women's and Men's) sometimes we shy away from that attention.   We have to have the lights turned out and only then will we allow ourselves to be naked with our partner.

I once read an article about a famous sex educator that had this problem.  Even though she could get up in front of thousands of people and talk about the most intimate details about sex, she wouldn't allow her partner to see her naked.  Until one day she decided to give it a try.  What she found was while she was looking at all the parts of her body that she felt didn't measure up.  Her partner was looking and finding beauty in her body even in the places she thought were substandard and once he expressed that to her that self doubt went right out the window.

None of us are perfect even those models on the front of magazines are air brushed and angled just right to make them look better.  So why are you hiding in the dark?  Allow your partner to enjoy you nakedness and enjoy theirs.  Tonight make love with the lights on and see how sexy you really are!

The Family Blog

Today we have a wonderful way to keep all your family and friends up to date on what is going on in your life.  It is a Family Blog.  A blog is so easy to set up with a service such as Blogger.  All you have to do is pick a theme and start adding content.  You can post pictures of the kids functions, let all people know what is going on in your life and announce important dates and functions you are having yourself.  All you have to do is send the link to those that you want to keep informed.  You can even let all family members take turns posting.  Have your toddlers draw pictures and scan them so that all can enjoy their artwork.  Video your kids baseball game and let Grandma and Grandpa watch from their home miles away.  The possibilities are endless.  One word of caution however, know that others can find your page so keep things like your address and specific locations from being posted, just to be on the safe side.  

We have a great way to share information with all our family and friends.  No more do we have to invite people over to watch our boring home movies now we can send them to them so they can be bored in their own homes.  :-)

Finally Lubrication Companies Start Helping With Foreplay

We have seen a recently move for companies to start changing up the normal lubrication we use for intimacy.  Long gone are the days when you had one or two choices.  Now you have a wealth of products to help build your excitement and foreplay.  K-Y has their line of Yours & Mine which offers a lube for male and female partners to experience their reactions together.  Durex has also chimed in with several different sensations in their lubrication.  There are many others out there doing the same thing telling us that there is a whole lot of foreplay going on out there.  Which is a very very good thing.  Check out all the different types of lubes on the market today and how they can alter your sensation for each intimate experience.  

Famous Kisses

There have been many famous kisses throughout history.  The one above in New York Time Square on VJ day is one that has been immortalized by Alfred Eisenstaedt.  Can you think of any others you have seen or witnessed?  The kiss that wakes Sleeping Beauty, the first time you kissed your partner, the kiss at your wedding or the first time kissed anyone.  What about the movies, when the Godfather would kiss someone good bye or even the episode of Seinfeld where Kramer kisses Jerry.  The point is kisses are memorable and the ones that stand out to you speak to your heart!

Laws That Hurt Your Relationship

Recently I was searching and cam across this silly fact.  In Colorado they had a law, and it still might be on the books,  that forbid a man from kissing a sleeping woman?  What kind of weirdo put the law in place.  I mean come on if you got up early for work you couldn't kiss your partner lightly goodbye.  What about that soft kiss when you come to bed and there is your beautiful partner sleeping.  I cannot imagine what person would dream up such a law at any time in history.

Think about what this law would have done to the simple story of Sleeping Beauty?  She would of never gotten woke up and if she did she would have only seen her Prince Charming being hauled of in handcuffs.

Maybe It's Time To Fix Up Those Single Friends, or Maybe Not?

Over 50% of all singles in America have not had a date in more than two years.

This is a very sad statistic.  I know there are some people out there that just don't want to date but so many of them would love to have a date.  Maybe it is time to fix up those two people you know that are single?  A word of caution here make sure they want to be fixed up, ask them before you make any moves.   If they both are okay with it then maybe you invite them both over to get acquainted.   Once you plant the seed let it grow on it's own don't over water it.  Let them continue if they wish without you having to hold their hands.  If there is something special there it will grow if not, so be it.  

Even if your friends don't want you to fix them up for a date you could still invite them over and spend time with them.  Invite them over to watch the game, or to enjoy the cookout your having.  Let them know they are special and a friend.  We all need love just some of us find it easier than others.
