Are You a Candidate to Read This Book?
Take this quick quiz to find out. Simply mark Y for Yes or N for No. ___ You can’t remember the last time your spouse gave you a real kiss or held your hand. ___ Experimenting in the bedroom means changing the color of the duvet. ___ Your conversations mostly have to do with who needs to pick up groceries and who should take the garbage out. ___ Sex is getting a little ho-hum. You’re stuck in a rut. ___ You can predict the exact spot your spouse will touch you. ___ Hopping in the sack with your spouse is just a distant memory BK (before kids). ___ When your spouse gets that Bullwinkle the Moose look, you suddenly have to clean the countertop, the potty, anything . ___ Your spouse doesn’t want to have sex unless there’s no one within a five-mile radius. ___ You undress in the walk-in closet. ___ You’re newlyweds, but you’re not getting the bang for your buck you thought you’d get. ___ You don’t mind crying or getting emotional over a tender moment on TV. But when the tender moment comes between you and your spouse, you’re uncomfortable. ___ Your spouse looks at you blankly when you say, “I was thinking we could try something different.” ___ The get-up-and-go in Mr. Happy has got up and gone. ___ The last book you read about sex was for your premarital counseling. ___ You don’t talk about what you really desire in sex and intimacy. It’s too embarrassing. ___ You can only make love with the lights off. ___ The highlight of your day is watching sitcom characters kiss while you sit next to your spouse on the couch eating popcorn.
If any of these topics resonated with you and you marked even one Y, you need to not only read this book but share it with your spouse.

Introduction
Vive la Différence!
Why men need women, why women need men, and why a good sex life is worth striving for.
There’s a reason you’re reading this book. You want more sex, more variety in sex, or, let’s be honest . . . any sex at all! Do any of these thoughts sound familiar? Somehow I imagined sex would be more satisfying. That we’d be closer as a couple. What happened to the tingles I used to feel? I always dreamed of a spouse who would pursue me sexually instead of simply waiting until I initiate it. I thought romance would be a lot more . . . well, romantic. Sex doesn’t have any of that va-va-voom I expected. I get more of a thrill taking the dog out for a walk. I can’t help but wonder, Is this all there is? Is this as good as it gets? I’m convinced the only time my husband thinks of me is when he wants a little (you know what I mean). Whatever happened to all those nice things he did for me when we dated? It’s hard to be in the mood with two kids running you ragged. Sex life? What sex life? I think the last time we had sex was . . . I’m not sure my memory goes back that far. I have this unsettled feeling that there’s more we could have together—more intimacy. That we’re missing out.
If you’ve thought any of the above, you’re not alone. Thousands of men and women feel the same way. And you’re right—you are missing out. Marital intimacy, including sexual intimacy, is designed as an incredible, personal act between two committed people that cements a relationship so tightly that no one can get in between you.
Right now what you’re doing in your marriage either isn’t working enough to satisfy you or isn’t working at all. It’s time for a change. You two deserve more, and you can have so much more—in just five days. Whether you have a sex life, somewhat of one, or none right now, Have a New Sex Life by Friday will reveal how to get the warmth, intimacy, and wow sex you desire.
Some of you are saying, “My spouse? Are you kidding me? To have a great sex life, or any sex life at all, I’d have to find a different partner.”
Getting a new sex life by Friday doesn’t mean you ditch your spouse. Far from it. In this book, I’ll reveal the secrets to how you can have a warm and intimate connection, fabulous communication, and yes, even sizzling sex with the one you love.
That spouse you think is reticent about sex could become a tiger in your bedroom with even a little work on your part. It’s amazing what can happen when you begin to see the world through your spouse’s eyes, and when you use the principles in this book to get to know that person more deeply than you ever have. As I’ve counseled couples over the years, using these same techniques, hundreds of thousands of marriages have been turned around. Previously reticent partners of all ages are now enjoying the exciting bonds of marital intimacy, including engaging in passionate sex. You younger readers can be like bunnies in a field in springtime. For those who are middle-aged, don’t let anyone tell you that you have to slow down when you hit your forties. For those of you older readers, yes, sex is still possible and wonderful.
By the end of Have a New Sex Life by Friday , you’ll understand why your spouse is responding the way he or she is and how you can talk so your spouse will listen. You’ll have answers to the questions you’ve wanted to ask about sex but weren’t sure who to ask. Five days from now you’ll be well on your way to building the kind of love that is warm and satisfying and will last until you’re both as wrinkled as raisins. When you’re away from each other, you’ll still have an intimate connection that drives you to text or call each other because you can’t stand not to. And when you’re together, you might not even need Netflix anymore for entertainment.
Isn’t that a dividend worth investing five days in? And all the gusto you can give it?
Every person’s views on sex and his or her background differs. No matter what yours are, this book will expand and challenge your thinking about sex and marital intimacy. Decide right now that you will set aside any preconceived notions you have about what sex is and what it’s not. Give these principles and ideas your full attention. Forge ahead for your own sake, your
