Making love. This is how you express your love for one another in the most intense and intimate way. It is a naked, shameless dialogue. You surrender to one another with complete trust.<\/p>\n
As beautiful as it is, it can also be fragile. It is as though, all your daily interactions are intensified in both a positive and a negative way. This is why many aspects of your relationship are reflected in your sexual dialogue.<\/p>\n
You both lead busy lives in which your time is taken up by work, social obligations and maybe children. As a result, you can\u2019t be bothered with going through the whole rigmarole of sex before you go to sleep. You also know each other\u2019s bodies from top to bottom and sex has become a routine. The excitement and adventure has gone.<\/p>\n
Maybe there are deeper problems with your sexual contact. Let\u2019s face it, nothing is more intimate than sex. Not only is your body naked, your soul is too. And if something\u2019s not right, you tense up. Discussing it is difficult. You don\u2019t want to shortchange the other or yourself. It becomes awkward. One partner feels burdened, while the other doesn\u2019t want to offend. You become estranged, and don\u2019t know what the other wants anymore. Sexuality can therefore be a sign that you are experiencing relationship problems, but it may well be the cause of them.<\/p>\n
Mom and Dad are arguing. This confuses children, regardless of their age. It makes them miserable and raises questions that they can\u2019t answer for themselves. They don\u2019t understand what the arguments mean or what the consequences are. They still need your attention, even though you are both going through a difficult period. At the Expat Psychologist, we can help you guide your children, or talk things through with them.<\/p>\n
