Try painting every room in the house and a basement together. 
It must be love.

funny thing about sex is i consider my husband's brain like a compartmental box. he has a compartment for sex, one for work, one for football, one for woodworking, and so on. when he's in the work box, he's totally in the work box, nothing else matters. when he's in the sex box, he's totally in the sex box, nothing else matters. he's pigeonholed completely at those moments.
but, with me, my brain is like a big box of mardi gras bead necklaces, all tangled up together. and, well, when you pull on the sex necklace, just so happens that it's intertwined with 6,789 other facts, innuendos, nuances, memories, good things, bad things, promises broken, promises kept, itty-bitty thingys, huge-colossal thingys, DANG, it's just all tied together. so, as far as i'm concerned, having sex today will definitely involve all those 6,789 other tangled chains that most likely date back from the day. i. met you. it's really quite complicated for me. my brain is just a big pile of mardi gras beads that aint never gonna be untangled NO MATTER WHAT HE TRIES!!!!!! wish i could be like "yeah, good sex seals the deal" but it don't.
so, i guess what i'm sayin is patience is key in a good marriage too. God bless my husband.

I have nothing fubby to add.
It's a serious deal, and I know that the only reason I'm still married is because Mr Aire is such a good, patient man.
He's always insisted on communication. I'm not so good at that.

The male psyche has just been reduced to a few lines on a running forum. I'd be laughing if it weren't so acurate.
