The Daily Journal of Kankakee has a quote today by me talking about vacations and how important they are for couples.
My husband of 22 years and I have managed to take some kind of vacation–some longer and some shorter than others–without our daughter. Having something all our own to look forward to helps us through the daily doldrums parents sometimes face. Also, when we go away alone we create some wonderful memories that become part of the history of our relationship. A vacation enriches us as a couple; when our daughter goes off to college soon, we’re not really too worried about the coming empty nest.
Of course, what the article doesn’t discuss is “vacation sex.” Some people put a lot of emphasis on having fantastic sex while they are on vacation.
It’s almost as if they cannot have great sex any other time. But who says? What are the elements of “vacation sex” that you could put into your life more frequently? Relaxation, novelty, taking your time, dressing up, having a romantic dinner or walk–maybe you could find some ways to incorporate these things into your life on a weekly or daily basis.
Not to say that vacation sex shouldn’t or can’t be wonderful. Go for it! Enjoy! Get away from the kids, the pets, the bills, the Internet, the in-laws, the yard work and go have some unabashed pleasure.
