Don't know what to do

THE STORY IS TOLD THAT ON VALENTINE’S Day, the husband went home and gifted his wife with a bracelet. When the wife asked him why the sudden surprise, he responded: “A four-letter word moved me to do it.”
“You mean ‘love’?” she asked with a thrilled smile.
“No,” he responded, “SALE.”

Miracle, live on ‘Dr. Love Radio Show’
http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropin...
JANICE (NOT her real name) was holding a bottle of pills and ready to gulp them down and call it quits. But first she was going to end the lives of her four young children before ending her own...
Before I go to sleep, I usually do a last-minute TV surfing to find out if there are late breaking news in the world out there. Since some radio programs have become live viewing on TV, it has become my habit to “drop” by them and read the latest news updates crawling on the TV screen. “Interrupting” these regular teleradyo programs are news that are breathlessly delivered in crackling street-corner...
Her crisis had begun long ago. From the sound of her, one could surmise that Janice was at the end of her rope and had no one to turn to. She was ashamed to run to her parents. Although she was working in the Department of Education, her earnings were not enough to support a household. Her husband, who, she said, just got a job after many years of joblessness, was often in the casino.

What did Dr. Love/Brother Jun do? He zeroed in right away on the children and their needs. They should be taken to the hospital, he said. He told Janice to find the doctor’s prescription. (Bad doctor’s handwriting, so she couldn’t read them.) He asked what the kids needed. He and the staff were calling so-and-so and so-and-so for help for the children. Phone lines were burning.

My initial reaction was, my goodness, zero in on Janice first, not the children. Save her first, I thought. And I remembered the airplane emergency instructions for adults to first put on their oxygen masks before helping the children put on theirs.

But Brother Jun’s fast moves to zero in on the kids turned out to be effective. He was able to take Janice’s thoughts away from herself and her dark intentions and make her concentrate on the task at hand during those frenzied moments....

'i like reading inspirational books like:
Spiritual Prayers for the Praying Man:
Transform Your Life through Powerful Prayer” by White Stone Books.
Read Rhonda Byrne’s “The Secret.”
I’m also into Charles Swindoll’s “Devotions for Growing Strong in the Seasons of Life,” which talks about how to be a good person and at the same time how to encourage others to be good. My copy of Joseph Pelushkin’s “The Ten Commandments of Character” Teaches you to always think positive.
The Holy Bible is another one of my sources of inspirational words.

PASSION. It’s the one single word, the magic potion, “the only possible ‘secret I could think of, to explain success,” says Genevieve Lim, founder and CEO of Zagu Foods Corp.

Lim was a young bubbly 25-year-old out-of-work fresh graduate in 1999 when she opened her first Zagu Shake kiosk in an austere corner of a bowling center at Valle Verde in Quezon City.

Bucket List
http://showbizandstyle.inquirer.net/sim/...
SURPRISINGLY, earning more money, retiring with a huge nest egg and becoming even more influential than they already are do not figure on the list of things that the country’s business leaders would like to accomplish before they take their final bow. Instead, these top executives expressed an ardent desire to experience more of what the world has to offer and to make a difference in the lives of others in this lifetime. Like actors Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson in the movie “The Bucket List,” they draw up a list of things they’d like to do before they die....

If its hurting to have sex due to lack of lube, there may be a medical issue. if you are out of lube due to lack of desire, something needs to change. Turn off the lights and close your eyes and let your imagination go wild. While he is doing his business with you, just imgine he is Johnny Depp or whoever! Its ok to have erotic fantasies...no one has to know! Its healthy and gets people in the mood. Hope it works out for you

I know exactly what you mean. I have the same situation and the worse thing for me is that we live in a very small town where there is nothing at all to do and everything is 1hour and a half away, we have 5 kids and having sex is also an issue. I finally had to ask a longtime male friend for some advice and came down to a conclusion that since my hubby also works long exhausting 16 hour shifts that stress and being tired has to do a lot with it. It does effect men more than women and because we start to feel lonely, unattractive and undesired we stop enjoying sex with our partners. We start to think that maybe there is something wrong with us or even that they might be having an affair. But the more we complain to them the more stressed they feel because they know that they are not meeting our expectations. So what I finally did was that I had to step back and try to understand him and be very patient(which I am not naturally) and talk to him ask him whats the problem is it me or are you just very stressed and tired, if he tells you that he is just so tired and stressed try to help him by giving him his alone time after work and have him shower and take a nap. You'll be surprise what a nap can do. Then when it comes to having sex when your baby is at school and try to sneak one in try to be naughty in other words, do it in the living room floor when the windows are open but you know that no one can see, it's just the thrill of the moment (some men find danger a turn on) or (depending on how much you do in your sex life) just go to him and give him a BJ out of nowhere without expecting anything in returned and if he tried to have sex with you tell him (no this is your time and enjoy it) little things like that made a difference in my relationship because we were also in that point where sex was not enjoyable anymore. i once had an older woman give me an advice when I was recently married and she told me that it has worked for her for many years and she has been married for 25 years she told me ("always remember to be lady in the streets and be the biggest SLUT in the sheets) and you know when I finally started doing that it worked. I also try talking dirty to him and telling him to do certain things to me and I see that all this turns him on but I also tell him what I want him to do to me. You both have to communicate even in the bed and be very daring. As for going out do keep in mind that we do get bored but they also work very hard to take care of us and kind of make it a little weekend getaway at least once a month but and try to make those gataways for just you too alone if possible it does make a difference spending alone time together.

Hi Joanna,
After reading your post I am wondering what it is you want. You say you are bored but what specifically would you like to do when you go out? What things do you want to try in bed. You don't have to answer that to me. Just making sure you have been specific with your hubby. Instead of having him initiate things in the bedroom as you want tie him to the bed and have your way with him. Not sure what issues are that require medical attention but there is also masterbation. You can do it together, with each other, for each other or just on your own.
I am in a sexually frustrating marriage too and have no idea what to do. (See "Sexual Situation")
Give yourself some credit for still making the effort to work on it thought.
Kris

couples counseling is the best cure for these kinds of issues. I had same problem. Are you still in love? Do you want to make it right, and more importantly does he? Noone tells you how hard marriage is, and kids, and just life:( Its a job and alot of effort, but if you want to save it, that uninvolved 3rd party is key

why is it that not many people post anything or read the posts? It is fustrating

I am sorry you are feeling this way. I do not know what to say other than maybe trying a weekend getaway if you have someone to care for your daughter for the weekend. Try to make a list of things that you used to like about him and what made you fall in love and marry him in the first place and see if that helps.
