You know, by the way your spouse touches you, what their goal is.

Are they just trying to get you to want to have sex, or are they saying,

I'm so glad you're here, I like you.

You mean something to me.

So much meaning is communicated through the body and especially through sex.

And that's why a lot of couples don't like having sex is because the meaning that's being communicated is

And I want to make this episode really special and maybe a little different from my other episodes. So I've been pondering for a while how. And I wanted to make this episode really special. It may be a little different
