By beginning fresh, you are making the choice to reinvent yourself. You are choosing to ditch the excuses of why you aren’t happy. You are taking your sad stories of failure and creating a place to start moving towards that Happily Ever After.

The wisest and most loving piece of advice I was ever told was this: “You are always in choice.”

It’s like a delicious secret that you can choose to reveal…or not.

Can the amount of sex you have each week “save” your relationship and transform it from so-so to sensational?

When sex is part of a “be a good boy” reward system in a marriage, then it begins to shift sex away from happiness and love and becomes a way a spouse doles out approval.

Feeling confident and sexy is about being comfortable in your own skin. It’s that simple.

We fear intimacy, being vulnerable, being seen as weak, being seen as imperfect. What I am struggling with understanding, is why our fears are so much more important than love.

Not to say that Gwyneth Paltrow isn’t a lovely and caring person, but I wouldn’t include her in a list of women I’d want to go out to brunch with.
