Relationship Spring Cleaning
Spring is a rejuvenating season, a time for new beginnings. This is also a time when we start our spring cleaning activities. These are traditional activities of cleaning up and organizing areas of our life after the long winter season. We typically focus on spring cleaning our house, vehicles, office spaces, yard, etc. However, we tend to forget one very important area of our life...our relationship with our partner.
In these busy times, it is very easy to neglect our relationship and take our partner for granted. Thus, instead of making spring cleaning of your house a priority, take some time to focus on your partner and nurture the connection and passion in your relationship. Remember the saying, "where the attention goes, the energy flows". Why wait any longer...today is a great day to start putting more energy in your relationship!
Here's a good way to start..
- First, both of you, take a few minutes to complete our FEATHERS Relationship Quiz. This will help you identify the areas of your relationship that need more attention.
- Next, sit down together and discuss your relationship results. It's very important to be honest with each other. Also, discuss your "vision" of each area (what you would like to see).
- Then, pick the areas of your relationship you want to focus on first and decide on a plan of action.
- Finally, implement your plan of action. Remember, you're a team, thus you need to work on these areas together. Also, change is sometimes difficult, so it's important to support and reward each other.
Don't forget to check out our recommended resources on our website. You will find many books, videos, and products that can assist you with enhancing your relationship.
And always, if you want help with this process, please feel free to contact us. We would love to assist you on your journey!
Wishing you much "relationship spring cleaning" success,
Chuck and Jo-Ann

Q & A with The Love Birds
Q: I am 23 years old and have been married for 4 years now. I used to want to have sex but lately, I have no desire. I love my husband very much and would appreciate any feedback on what to do.
A: Thank you so much for your question. We see many women that are struggling with low or no sexual desire. There are many possible causes for low sexual desire. First, it is important to rule out a medical cause especially since low sexual desire can be caused by some medications (ie. birth control pills or anti-depressants) as well as hormonal imbalances or low testosterone (yes, even in women!). So, we suggest that you talk to your doctor about your concern. Low sexual desire can also be caused by stress or fatigue. Hence, it's important to make sure you are exercising, eating healthy, getting plenty of rest/sleep and managing stress in healthy ways.
If the above factors are not the cause, then you may want to seek the help of a sex therapist to see if there are other issues such as depression, relationship conflicts, body image issues, or a history of sexual trauma causing the low sexual desire. We hope this helps! |
