In 1997 I married my high school sweetheart. Well, I was a high school senior and he had graduated several years earlier. We married after my first year at college when I was a mere 18 years old.
Naturally life was carefree and we had the freedom to be spontaneous. Fast forward 17 years of marriage and we’re tired. Tired of work, tired of bills, tired of fixing up the house and tired of running the roads for our children, but….we’re still in love.
I always say “He is a better person that I am.” If you ask him, he will tell you he is a Saint! Although he is a great guy, sometimes we speak a totally different language. You would think after 17 years of being married, he knows how to “speak Maria”. While sometimes he does, other times he fails miserably!
Here are my favorite misinterpreted conversations:
1. I say: What do you want to do this weekend?
Me: Take me out to dinner, a museum and maybe dancing!
Him: I’m hoping to sit in my recliner and work on projects that I may never finish.
2. I look around the house and say “I feel like all I do is clean the house?”
Me: This means get up and help me wash the dishes.
Him: Are you asking me to help you or do I just agree with you?
3. I say “We Need to Talk.”
Me: We need to discuss money, something that happened to the kids at school or my anything to do with my family.
He: Something bad, very bad just happened.
4. I say: “We are busting out of this house!”
Me: We need a bigger house.
Him: We need to get rid of all of our junk.
5. I say “I’m tired.”
Me: I’m tired, really tired. I want to pass out, I’m THAT tired!
Him: Does that mean we go bed and go straight to sleep? I wonder how long I can let her sleep before I wake her up.
Me Again: No, I’m really tired! Don’t wake me up. Never mind, he woke me up…..
Most men are always in the mood but sometimes women aren’t quite ready for action. If you are one of those women K-Y® Liquibeads might be for you. K-Y® Liquibeads is a personal vaginal moisturizer that is used to comfort you when you are having intimate moments with your loved one.
Stop laughing and start talking. It can also enhance the ease of sexual activity. There is nothing wrong with supplementing the body’s natural lubrication with lubrication. Besides, your loved one works so hard to make you happy. This…will make him happy!
Do you shop at Walmart? I do. In fact, my husband and I had a “date” (aka breakfast at a pancake house then grocery shopping) last Saturday. We stopped at our local Walmart and saw that K-Y® Liquibeads was available near the pharmacy section. No need to be embarrassed or shy, you can find all kinds of goodies in that aisle!
Once you open the box, you will find an applicator needed to insert the Liquibeads. The K-Y® Liquibeads will start to gently dissolve in a matter of a few minutes then you and your loved are ready to act spontaneously. You can also use to insert a bead once every few days so that your body is ready when the mood may strike or he didn’t get the “I’m tired” hint!

How to use K-Y® Liquibeads:
Once you have purchased your much-needed item you will find that each packages comes with 6 applicators and 6 ovule inserts. Simply open and remove one ovule and insert it to the top of an applicator. In order to insert the ovule, first position yourself in a relaxed position, then inset the applicator like a tampon. Once the ovule is inserted simply wait a few minutes then you can begin (play Barry White music at your discretion lol) to enjoy intimacy with your loved one.
It’s simple and less work than one would think! No one wants to talk about intimacy with your loved one, but it’s an important part of any marriage. Besides, expressing our love is the one language we can both speak.
Note: If women are pregnant or nursing, they should first consult a doctor before using.
How do you keep intimacy alive in your relationship?
So basically our husbands are exactly the same LOL. I literally have to spell it out for mine otherwise he just doesn’t get it.
Our husbands are so much alike! We do try to keep the conversation going – and date nights each month are a must.
Our husbands sound so much alike lol. We do date nights often and I make sure we talk always!
Lol it seems like a male thing to be that way.. They obviously all need speaking female lessons.
lol. The “date” to the grocery store makes me laugh but we do just the same thing. Making it work is the key to a great marriage.
A grocery date sounds like something we did too
Glad to read you are still in loved with each other
37 years here! I think it is easier to be intimate now days then 20 years ago when the kids were young. We really do like to spend time together and I think it is the things you do for each other when you are not being intimate that makes you want to keep the intimacy alive.
I think it’s important to have your alone time. Even if it just means a movie and dinner without the kids.
Husbands can be pretty hard to communicate with sometimes. They just don’t get subtlety.
All men are the same, we say one thing and they understand something quite different!
I have to literally just SAY what I’m thinking. Otherwise he doesn’t get the hint! LOL
I just laughed out loud at this post. First of all great job because you just had a really classy post with the topic that I could go sideways easily. Also my husband does the same on weekends. That’s why I laughed out loud!
Men really are clueless when it comes to knowing what we mean. And thank goodness for things that help spontaneity whenever it happens!
So most husbands are a like
We try to plan a date night – but it doesn’t happen very often.
Never heard of these before, but I know what you mean; nothing wrong with a bit of help
I have learned that I have to be literal with my words or my husband just doesn’t get it. Date nights are a must and I love date time to the grocery store.
You are so right. Sometimes it seems men speak a completely different language.
What is it with men? My husband is the same way……our brains totally speak two different languages.
I think my hubby and I are INSANELY compatible and happy compared to many couples I know. However…we still speak two languages. Spot on post!
OMG THEY ARE ALL THE SAME! Kyle wakes me up nearly every night. I go back and forth between being available for him like a dead corpse or telling him to screw off (not literally), because I’m TIRED. It’s like Last Dance With Mary Jane except I’m alive. I mean REALLY. You have to wait until I’m falling asleep in my chair to want to do it? C’mon, man! #client
