How to Make Love to Your Husband

Making love to your husband should be easy, fun, and leave you slightly breathless just like playing hopscotch. If you treat it like it's a chore, then it's not making love. For men and women, love-making starts in the head and ends in the heart. Our bodies are just a tool we use to express it. To enjoy a close relationship, ensure that intercourse between you and your husband is more than just sex.

When you forget to concentrate on the intimate bond between man and wife, you risk turning sex from love-making to a part-time job.

Realize that men are people, too. Believe it, or not, they have feelings and emotions just like women do. You can't ignore your husband all day and then expect him to make sweet love with you all night. Make your husband feel needed and special. Pay him compliments and remind him how much you care about him. Making love starts outside the bedroom.

Compromise. Chances are that your husband may enjoy a particular sexual position or activity which you find distasteful. Although you are never obligated to perform any particular act, consider giving it to him as a gift. If you satisfy his fantasies and desires, he may spend more time on those delicious little things that you love him to do.

Whisper sweet nothings. Unless your husband enjoys silent sex, tell him how much you love him during the act. Let him know that you are enjoying being close to him, and that there's nowhere else you'd rather be.

Make love with your eyes open. You don't drive your car with your eyes closed, don't make love with your eyes closed either. Be present and enjoy the view.

Be gentle. Wild sex has its place and time. If love-making is on the menu for the evening, touch your husband softly and lovingly. Show him that he is treasured.

Be available. When he's in the mood, don't fake a headache just so you can finish reading the latest Stephen King novel. Too much rejection will lower his confidence and his libido.

Don't make him beg. It may make you feel powerful to exert that much control over another person, but it will eventually lead to resentment. Making love to your husband requires the desire for intimacy on both sides.

The truth is that you probably already know how to make love to your husband. With your job, children, chores, and everything else, you probably just need to remind yourself. Slow down, relax, and do what feels right.
