I overheard a woman the other day saying, “Hey thank God I am pregnant finally. Now I won’t have to have sex with my husband for a while.” Many women clients of mine also say, “Sex is the last thing they feel like at the end of the day after juggling this, that and the next thing.” Understandable, yes―having raised six kids and juggled the wife, mother, business owner and lover roles myself! Others of us love to curl up with a good girlie ‘flick’ with some good old fashioned romance―but when it comes to actually allowing such romance to occur in our own lives, we withdraw, make excuses or find reasons not to enjoy intimacy to the degree we actually desire.

Our attitudes play a huge part in the way we relate to intimacy. What the attitudes and teaching of our parents or other role-models were around bodily functions, puberty, losing our virginity, sex, relationships, homosexuality and commitment, for example, can determine the experience of intimacy.

Being a woman is much like being a wave on the ocean, not a straight line on a graph. For the ocean to be like it is, it needs ebb and flow―not just one or the other. The crest and trough of the wave, the high and low tide and the waxing and waning of the moon are all natural cycles that are reflected in the two different phases of our menstrual cycle.

It’s a matter of perspective - Whilst recently walking along a beach front promenade with my cycling sons, I overheard a father (whilst out strolling with his young child in the pram) saying, “Hey this gets me away from the office. It’s great!” The woman, probably his better half, replied, “Yeah I’d love to get out of my daily grind as well!” Both were seeking balance in their daily roles and responsibilities.
