Who Needs Foreplay When You Can Fold!
So there is this article on sexual incompatibility between partners over at MSN.comand I just had to laugh at the topic. Let’s take a look at the meaning of the term “sexual incompatibility” as portrayed by the article. Sexual incompatibility is the failure to satisfy the other partner and sometimes failure to pique the interest in sex, at all. This is obviously not an article for parents. Why? You know as well as I do, that when children come into the picture, any sex at all is a freakin’ miracle. Who has time to sit around and ponder whether or not you satisfy your spouse? If you find two minutes in which the both of your can rendezvous in the laundry room for a quickie, it is probably the best (and only) sex you’ve had in the last week.
My husband and I call laundry folding night “Date Night.” Don’t laugh, I’m serious. We spend a good hour folding twenty loads of laundry and talking. Sometimes the conversation is funny, sometimes more serious. We try to reward our efforts with a little post folding romance, but usually to no avail. It is Murphy’s Law that a kid always wakes up as we finish putting laundry away and it puts the kibosh on any notion of romance. So on the off chance that we don’t have a kid in our bed and don’t pass out the minute we get them to sleep, sex is a true privilege!
We go by the motto, “If you’re not having fun…I’m not having fun.” In other words, we always seek to make sure the other is up for the romance and feeling good. As long as those two things are being taken into consideration, I don’t see how incompatibility would ever be an issue? Then again, we do have a great relationship and actually like each other. So maybe couples who experience incompatibility do so because of problems in other areas of the marriage. I just get so giddy at the thought of having my husband to myself for five uninterrupted minutes, that nothing else matters for those precious few moments alone! Can I get an amen, or am I alone in my sentiments?

I’ll give you an “AMEN Sister! Preach on!!!”
I do think that a lot of it would have to do with marital issues outside of the bedroom. But that’s just my 2 cents.

My husband and i only have one child, (until October) and he takes lots of naps and sleeps alot, so my hubs and i actually get quite a bit of time for romance. It’s very nice, and i’m trying to enjoy it while it lasts. i’m sorry you guys don’t get that as much!

This is so funny, but so true all at the same time! I remember those days when my kids were a lot younger and clinging to us. Fortunately they do grow up and the fun begins again! :)
