<strong>Relationship</strong> Problem: Sex<br />
Even partners who love each other can be a mismatch, sexually. Mary Jo Fay, author<br />
of Please Dear, Not Tonight, says a lack of sexual self-awareness and education worsens<br />
these problems. But having sex is one of the last things you should give up, Fay says.<br />
"Sex," she says, "brings us closer <strong>to</strong>gether, releases hormones that help our bodies<br />
both physically and mentally, and keeps the chemistry of a healthy couple healthy.“<br />
* Plan, plan, plan. Fay suggests making an appointment, but not necessarily at night<br />
when everyone is tired. Maybe during the baby's Saturday afternoon nap or a "beforework<br />
quickie." Ask friends or family <strong>to</strong> take the kids every other Friday night for a<br />
sleepover. "When sex is on the calendar, it increases your anticipation," Fay says.<br />
Changing things up a bit can make sex more fun, <strong>to</strong>o, she says. Why not have sex in the<br />
kitchen? Or by the fire? Or standing up in the hallway?<br />
* Learn what truly turns you and your partner on by each of you coming up with a<br />
personal "Sexy List," suggests California psychotherapist Allison Cohen. Swap the lists<br />
and use them <strong>to</strong> create more scenarios that turn you both on.<br />

* If your sexual relationship problems can't be resolved on your own, Fay recommends<br />
consulting a qualified sex therapist <strong>to</strong> help you both address and resolve your issues.
