i'm doing a book club- 'bringing sexy back this summer!' (thanks jenny for the name!)- with this book:
it's 'Sheet Music...Uncovering the Secrets of Sexual Intimacy in Marriage' by Dr. Kevin Leman.
marriage is on my heart lately. i'm hearing about more hurting marriages than healthy marriages. i'm hearing women that are hurting...and i'm sure there are men hurting. i'm hearing 'we just exist in the same house'. i'm hearing men that are done and filing for divorce. i'm hearing women that are done and filing for divorce. sigh...
so when i'm hearing a lot of the same things...it's time for me to make a move. i told heath i'm not doing my part if i'm not sharing with as many wives as possible how stinky marriage can be sometimes and how wonderful it can be sometimes.
let's start a new trend! marriages that are fulfilling. marriages that are more health than hurt. doesn't that sound fresh?! don't you want some of that?!
SOOO...we are going to open up the communication on sex. that's right...i said it. S-E-X. i know this is a tender area for some. and it will be treated as such. but sex is also fun and beautiful in marriage. a quote from sheet music...'sex is about the quality of your entire love life, not just the alignment of your bodies.' (emphasis added)
ok. so here's what's happening. whether you are saying:
'my marriage is on the rocks'. or 'my marriage is "eh"..ho hum'. or 'my marriage rocks!'.
the girls are getting together!!!
here's the 4.1.1.
*we will be getting together every other wednesday starting june 8th. this is a laid back summer book club so sign up even if you can only come to a couple. the dates are: june 8th, june 22nd, july 6th, july 20th, august 3rd, august 17th.
*we will be chatting it up from 6:30-7:30
*we'll meet at my house, parks, or if there is anyone else that wants to offer their yard and firepit (wink).
*you must be a wife. that is the only requirement. doesn't matter how short or long you have been married. the more variety, the better.
*you must sign up via comment here, facebook, facebook message or text me. you must sign up by MAY 2Oth.
*i also need to know if you will be getting the book yourself (amazon.com and halfpricebooks.com are good prices) OR you want me to order it for you through our local bookstore-Hope Crossing.
i'm just going to end on a thought with how differently men and women are created.
*men want to have sex TO fix things. women want to fix things BEFORE they have sex.
o! how true this is! how different we are from our hubbies. BUT we, as husbands and wives, can make beautiful harmonized music together!
fa la la laaaaaaa!
