1. Make space in your life.
Busyness is the enemy of the lover. If you’re running from one commitment to another — all day, every day — you won’t have time or energy to invest in becoming a lover. You’ll replace what author Esther Perel refers to as “erotic energy” with “domestic energy”—a singular focus on children, chores, tasks and to-do lists.
So, determine to make sex a priority by creating space and margins around your life, in order to allow it to flourish.
It won’t be easy—you’ll probably have to make decisions and take steps that disrupt your normal routine. It may involve reining in your family’s schedule, saying no or disappointing some people, but it will be worth it.
