Marriage, Sex, Money. Linked?

First, thank you to all my readers out there who have provided me with suggestions on what you would like me to write about. Keep them coming and I will try my best to make them as entertaining as possible.

 

 

When you think of marriage you don’t automatically think of having sex. You think of, shit Im never having sex again. Or I can’t believe Im only having sex with one person ever again. Obviously this is not completely true but there is some truth behind it. To battle the stigma of being married and not making love anymore, I asked my friends that are married about their sex life, as I am not married myself. I was astonished to here what they had to say. I am not going to share verbatim as that would just be terrible, but needless to say for the most part the fear is true!

 

In the words of Maroon 5, it really makes me wonder. What in the world happens to married couples? Before marriage, and excuse me the honeymoon, its one..two..three..four…five times a week. Now it’s down to maybe once a week. Now, Im not one to talk as I have my moments of diminished drive, but honestly isn’t there like a contract we should sign before getting married stating at least twice a week! It is absolutely ridiculous that you can say “I Do” at the alter in front all your family and friends but say “I don’t” straight to your significant other’s face. I mean it’s literally in the words at the alter! I do, the act of “doing” the very essence of the street word to make sweet sweet whoopee so many times and in as many places known to man.

 

Now all you religious types out there are rolling your eyes at me saying Im the devil and blah blah, but Im not the ministers who are out there preaching to have sex with your spouse! Read the news people, sex is good for you. It keeps you healthy, relieves stress, and gets you closer to the person you are supposed to love. God wouldn’t have put those parts on us if he didn’t want us to use them. He wouldn’t have made it so pleasurable if he didn’t want us to use them often and wisely. Key word there, wisely. Yeah, think about that.

 

I am not saying go to the nearest person you see, say hey you wanna’ have my baby, and run to the copy room. Im saying, if you have a significant other, turn the lights off, pop in a movie, giver him or her an oil back massage and do what we were meant to do!

 

That is my argument and its one that I need to follow and not be hypocritical about. We all have our stresses in life. Money, at least now is the biggest stress there is. The fact that none of us have any and our struggling to survive is the biggest stress in life. We live in a world governed by how man Benjamins you have in the bank. I have 1 Ben sitting there to my name until today, because I got paid. Now all those bills are going to pay rent, car, car insurance, food. What little is left over we keep in there so that when we want to grab something to eat instead of cooking, we can afford the dollar menu at Wendy’s. What I am saying, is, that we are all poor right now. Poor in spirit and poor in the pocket. Money stress eats away your soul leaving nothing but bits and pieces straggling, trying to reconnect itself. It takes away the very essence that is you.

 

Good news! You don’t have to let that stress win. There are so many ways to take that stress and throw it away, to make your body feel good once again, to make your soul whole. Go to the gym, it’s cheap and most apartment buildings have one. If you live in a house, do some push-ups and go running. Get those endorphins rushing through your body. It’s a natural high. Then come home say, honey I need to shower because I smell, grab him/her and walk into that bathroom for some good ol’ fashion fun. They will love the pure spontaneity of the situation and guarantee that night will not be stressful, but happy with smiles stretched across everyone’s face. Finally, pop in that movie and relax. Escape reality and get away from it all. You don’t need to be part of this world 24/7. Believe me it’s not worth it. Learn to shut down and enjoy your life at home. If you don’t like movies, pick up the next Harry Potter book or whatever authors you love, and read it.

 

Whatever it is you like to do at home to relax and enjoy yourself, do it. Just don’t forget to add some “physical activity” in your life. If that baby is crying or your dog is barking, take care of it right away, run to the outstretched arms of your other and just embrace. Stare lovingly into their eyes, not too long, and just let them have it. Believe me, you will both feel ten times better.

 

Tip of the day: Shut the hell up and enjoy life!
