The Death Of
Your Love - Life
The three top influencers of the certain death of your love-life
are:-
1)
For women - it is being overly
critical of your man. No matter what the particular issues are, criticism will kill his passion for you. Why?
Simply because when you criticise him he feels much less of a man, therefore he doesn't feel that he is 'fit' for
the role of' lover' in your eyes. Your husband will feel that you perceive him as less of a man because you are
drawing attention to his deficits.
Nagging also comes under the 'criticism'
heading. Whenever you nag him to do something or about the fact that he hasn't done something, again you are
pressing the 'less than a man' button. Your man will subsequently be less passionately attracted to you, which will
dampen his sexual appetite - after all, imagine if you became critical of his love-making skills, that could be too
devastating for him to contemplate!
Your husband is not necessarily
conscious of this psychological reaction, but it is now universally accepted that this is the existing dynamic when
women criticise or nag their men, this is because what a man really thrives on is the admiration of his woman and
criticism is the exact opposite.
Your husband needs your admiration to
free him up to express his masculinity in a natural and loving way, therefore you need to find in him as many
admirable qualities as possible. Praise is always more readily accepted than criticism.
Be authentic, remember all the things
you admired about your man when you were first in love with him, they are probably still there but have become
covered up by the stresses and strains of regular life.
For men - taking for granted the things
your wife does for you, treating her kindness as a given - expecting her to behave in a certain way as part of her
'role'.
Yes, in general women are more
predisposed to care for people, this often includes cooking meals, making sure there are sufficient clean clothes
and the home is a pleasant place to come back to and in which to spend time
relaxing.
Your wife will do all these things
because she wants you to feel appreciated and loved, but really it is the woman herself that needs these feeling
met more than you. Just because your woman may be extremely accomplished at
performing these activities, it by no means indicates that it involves no effort.
For a woman love is usually the driving
force here and although she doesn't extend herself for praise, your obvious appreciation tells her that you love
her and what she does for you. Wearing the shirt she has lovingly ironed for
you is no indication to her that you appreciate her efforts - you actually have to tell her!
Not saying 'thank you' often enough or
not expressing your thanks in clear and obvious ways will definitely flatten any passionate feelings your woman may
have for you. Why? Literally because women thrive on appreciation just as men thrive on
admiration.
Being appreciated by her man makes a
woman feel noticed and desired. Passion easily rises to the surface in this environment as being noticed by a man
who appreciates her qualities makes a woman feel sexy and
desirable.
As with men, women are not necessary
aware that this dynamic is present. What they will however be conscious of, is feeling unimportant and unattractive
to their husbands which equates to their husband not caring about them anymore.
You see, when a man takes his woman for
granted and a woman criticises her man, it is hard for either one to see why they are even together, never mind
enjoying a passionate and fulfilling love life!
Now that you know about these
'subliminal' interactions, you have some of the tools you need to inject desire and passion back into your lives,
with a little effort and dedication you will be happily surprised by the outcome.
2)
For both men and women not paying enough
attention to your appearance can have a definite negative impact on your love life. I know you may think this vain,
but it has been shown to be a really important aspect of continued desirability within a
relationship.
For instance, when a man comes home to
his wife and she is dressed in baggy-kneed crumpled trousers and a washed-out 'comfy' top it is hardly going to
inspire sexual attraction and passion in him. She may well have the home beautifully groomed and a nourishing,
tasty meal ready for him but that will do little to light the coals of his desire.
Being well groomed in your husband's
company tells him that you want his attention and that he is worthy of your efforts. It shows him that you are
sexually and sensually attracted to him which stimulates his
passion.
A woman will not be sexually stimulated
by her husband if he comes home after a hard day, throws himself on the sofa in his work-worn clothes, picks up a
newspaper and waits for his meal to arrive. He is not going to be looking or
smelling his best at this stage and his wife is more likely to criticise his behaviour, which as I have mentioned
only makes matters worse. They are more likely to end up in a heated argument than a warm and passionate
embrace!
So ladies, have an old-sweats day if you wish but just
make certain to step it up a few gears before your man arrives. This way his first impression of you will be one of
pleasure and approval which are precursors to attraction and passion.
And guys, just head straight for the
bathroom, have a really quick wash and change of clothes - it only takes 5 minutes but the resulting attention from
your woman will be well worth your while!
3)
Spending too much of your leisure time
away from each other, either inside or outside the home will most certainly negatively impact your sex life and
relationship.
The woman with interest or
'duties' that keep her busy late into the evening, maybe after a full day at work or raising small children in the
home, is only fit for bed by the time she calls it a day. She can get so worn out that she is only looking forward
to a good night's sleep.
No thoughts of passion will enter her
mind, or if they do she will be inclined to worry that she will get even less sleep, so sex becomes something to
avoid.
Even a woman who is not raising children
but has many hobbies and interests can unwittingly make herself too busy to have a healthy, active sex-life. Often
she will not notice the decline of her sex-life until it is almost too late.
Men also fall into the trap of filling
their time with activities that don't include their partners. We've all heard of golfing, fishing and football
'widows'. Because this is a common occurrence it is taken for granted that it is normal healthy
behaviour.
O.k.., These men are probably not really
considering why they married their
partners in the first place. Sharing your life means just that - sharing time and experiences together, building
mutual love and respect, bonding. Of course the inconsiderate behaviour becomes habitual and almost goes unnoticed
or unchallenged.
Some couples crash out in front of the
television almost every evening and eventually drag themselves off to bed and hopefully a good night's sleep. This
behaviour is certainly sealing the fate of their sex life and intimacy.
When you and your partner spend enough
time in close proximity, it allows your body to release chemicals which act as attractors. It is usually at this
point that a couple will spontaneously start to flirt with each other,
increasing their sensuality and passion and triggering sexual feelings. So you can see why it is important not to
live your married life in too separate a way.
