I’m a Christian, a wife, mother, grandmother, baby boomer---and I enjoy sex!  I can just hear someone reading this say “What?!  Yes, I’m a baby boomer woman who enjoys intimacy and I’m not embarrassed to say so. 

It’s not a topic I openly discuss because, quite frankly, my fellow, married baby boomer girlfriends aren’t interested in sharing details of what goes on in their bedrooms.  And my girlfriends, who are single, don’t want me to know if they’re committing a sin.  Of course, I would never provide explicit details of my love life but I have no problem letting anyone, who asks, know

No doubt about it, life gets hectic.  Sometimes finances, children and other unexpected events demand your attention.  But without prayer, the issues you are experiencing will only become more intense and create more unnecessary burdens.

Who’s doing most of the talking in your bedroom?  If you say the “TV”, your marriage probably has some issues.

Tip Number 3:

Communicate in the Bedroom:  As we settle into marriage at midlife, things become routine and that tends to include sex.  Communicating with your spouse is extremely important on all levels---and yes, that includes the bedroom.  If you’re someone who can’t make love without the lights off or you must always be in the bottom position, why not try stepping out of your comfort zone and exploring some new ideas.
