Accommodate your wife’s needs by giving her anticipation time.
Your wife probably needs to know what you’ve got on your menu for the evening before you get to the bedroom! Although you might think that if you were more desirable she wouldn’t need that anticipation time, remember that she is simply physically different from you. Dan began sending his wife sweet, flirtatious texts during the day and sharing a bit of silly but sexy love talk while they were cleaning up the kitchen after dinner. As a result, she was able to not just be prepared, but to look forward to their intimate time together later in the evening. So give it a try—make a little flirting comment early in the day (yes, that is a nice outfit, and maybe tonight you can see her with even less on) and get your wife thinking about it… and I bet both of you will enjoy the results!
