Holiday relationship survival tip #5
If it’s just the two of you, have Thanksgiving in bed! Eat whatever you want and swear not to do a lick of cooking or cleanup! Spend the afternoon being “thankful� for each other…
My vision of us on that day wrapped up in our favorite things (or lack of things), is keeping the blinds closed and candles lit all day so that we can live 24 hours of nighttime together. We could let our souls settle in for a long winter’s day, indulging each other in all ways. Instead of giving rattling off sound bytes of our day, we might rest a little and let all of the laughs and indelible moments bubble to the surface. It’s the smallest things that we forget to share. I forget to tell him that his daughter and I practiced whistling today. I forget to tell him that I stopped and talked to the neighbor and she’s doing well. I forget to tell him that that Bub (our youngest son) learned a new word.
We may have enough time together in those 24 hours that we can enjoy a comfortable silence or a nap! Perish the thought!
If a day wrapped up in the two of you is your design, make love in all ways–like Lola David recommends in her post “Make Love No Matter What…”
I wish you and yours, no matter if there are two or twenty of you, a beautiful day filled with memories.
Thanksgiving, make love, intimacy, sex, holiday
