The Intimacy Lifestyle at it's core is about being able to set specific days that you initiate sex and the days your spouse will initiate sex each week. It's also a fantastic way for the both of you to not put off sex to another time, but to make it a priority in your marriage. By having days where both of you initiate sex it ultimately brings you closer together. There will be times though when both of you or one of you is not tracking. We can totally relate because we have been there. In this week's show Tony & Alisa talk about what happens when there is a lack of clarity on which days you are to initiate sex. You don't dump all that you have accomplished, instead you communicate what can be done better moving forward.
