Yes, this may turn out to be one of those mushy blog posts - but I think I am due for one. Most of the time my husband is Clark Kent - he blends in well with others and...
Sex with my husband saved my marriage.
Making love connected us not just physically, but also mentally and spiritually. Our lovemaking was a beautiful reminder of why we were together, and why we’d chosen each other to share our lives....
