Hot Tip #9 - New Year’s Resolution for 2009: More Intimacy! It’s time for New Year’s Resolutions, and I want to encourage you to make one that I believe will impact your personal life, your marriage, and your entire family – make marital intimacy a priority this year! In her book 365 Nights: A Memoir of Intimacy, Charla Muller explains that she knew there had to be more to marriage than laundry, babysitters, and negotiating the DVR. When her husband was about to celebrate his 40th birthday, she offered to give him something memorable – something that only she could give.
She offered him intimacy every day for a year. This book documents that year. It’s not the behind-the-scene details of their sex life, but rather a story about how a year of renewed and daily intimacy transformed a marriage. About how the “stuff” we all bring to a marriage can bear down on our relationship, our intimacy and our desire to connect. About how faith, intention and priority are all important components of a flourishing and happy marriage. Charla has been featured on the Today Show, The View, and will soon be on Oprah. This endeavor did not start as a book idea, but she’s been amazed at how her experience has resonated with readers around the world. Everyone seems to have a comment, an anecdote or a perspective about intimacy and marriage…everybody. Charla tried to write a book that honors her marriage and her faith. Certainly a year is a long time – that feat alone took much faith! This is a book about the ups and downs of married life and family life, about trying to have it all (and failing), and about figuring out how to get back to the basics of a grounded marriage. 365 Nights is available at www.amazon.com or at www.charlamuller.com.

Wishing you the BEST year full of the BEST sex, Shannon Ethridge, M.A.
