Why Is It So Hard to Say Yes to Sex?

Why is it so hard sometimes to say yes to sex?

I asked that question a while back on my Facebook Page (have you joined yet?) and got some interesting answers!

Here’s what you all said about why you’re rarely in the mood for making love:

• he hasn’t paid attention to any part of my day up to that moment.
• When the house is turned upside down!
• When a sexual comment is the only conversation I’ve heard from hubby all day…we’ve been married 30 years.
• When we’ve had an argument and then he thinks he can roll over and we’ll kiss and make up. Yeah right!!!! Or when I’m so tired I can’t see straight
• .…when the only conversation for the day is a proposition
• you don’t come to bed until after mid night because you once again fell asleep watching television.
  
• When I can’t get my brain to slow down and relax.
• …when he ignored and/or criticized me all day
• I’ve been in mommy mode for 12 hours.
• you refuse to shower for a long length of time.
• when he wont kiss me and ask me how i am doing or say good morning
• When I have had to discipline kids allllll day long!!! Sometimes it is difficult switching roles!!!
• When I feel unattractive and over weight. Regardless of how beautiful my husband tells me I am.
• When I had small babies with me all day, I felt like someone was ALWAYS touching me. I needed hands-off time.
• …he has fallen asleep on the couch and stayed there and it happens a couple nights in a row, and then suddenly comes to bed several nights later…

And then there were a few versions of this one:

• I know it doesn’t last too long….lol

Whew! That’s a lot of women struggling in this area.

So ladies, we all know we have these issues. We know these problems abound. But we also know that sex keeps a marriage close. It helps you to sleep better. And it helps you to feel more positively towards your spouse.
