His birthday was soon, and so she challenged herself to gift him thirty days of physical intimacy. The results ended up shocking her. She says, “The benefits were totally amazing!”
Most marriages have dry spells. Even the most loved-up couples will sometimes find themselves in intimacy ruts. The pressures of work, family and children slowly drain energy from the couple, drawing them apart without either of them knowing it’s happening.
After having their last child, Julie Spencer realised the intimacy in her marriage had all but evaporated. So she decided to reinvigorate it with a self-proclaimed challenge: Sex in her marriage every day for thirty days.
It came after reading the plight of a wife who was emailed a detailed spreadsheet of her marriage’s sexual frequency (rather, infrequency) by her husband. So disgusted at him for keeping a record of their sexual history, she did what every modern person felt she should do and turned to social media for guidance and support. As expected, it became an overnight sensation. But once the stir had settled, it forced many couples to look inwardly at their relationships. They started taking stock of their intimacy by asking one important question: Could it be that one of us isn’t satisfied and is keeping the problem concealed?
“It’s just like going to the gym. You don’t want to go but if you make yourself do it, you’ll feel better afterwards and never regret it, not once.”
Julie seemed to think that could’ve been happening to her marriage and set out to change it. Her husband’s birthday was the perfect opportunity to discover the results by giving him her unique gift.
The story continues on the podcast below. Listen to what happened after she made the decision to go through with it.
