Learn About Each Room:
The Bedroom
VIDEO TIPS - The BedroomThe bedroom is where you deal with all your romantic issues: sex, love, desire, connection to your mate, or the search for a life partner. Whether you have “rock star sex” or simply “I-love-you sex,” or “vacation sex” or any other type, what matters most is what you’re doing and what you wish you were doing, and the tension between the reality and the fantasy.
Sharing Stories
Here are a few of the shared stories in the book and you’ll find strategies for working on them there too.
- I can put up with anything, even sex when I don’t want it.
- I feel bad about it, but I’m often too tired to have sex.
- I could tell by his text messages that he was having an affair.
- I think I’m in love with Facebook man…and I don’t really know him!
- I have a work husband and I feel closer to him than my real husband.
- My boyfriend is right for me in every way except in bed. Does it matter?
- I’m self-reliant to a fault. I never want to lose control over my own life.
- I had an affair at the office and I don’t feel guilty. I’m sad it’s over.
- I have the single blues. But I never seem to want to date the right man.
Now we’d love to hear some of your own ”bedroom” stories. Think of them as seeds (of discontent) that make you want to change something going on in your life. The first step to any meaningful shift is to recognize what is wrong, or what is bringing you down (the seed) and then trying out a new approach or strategy (we call it a key process). You can share in the Key Processes section and let others know how it went. If it was a winner or you “cleaned up” the mess, you will have a takeaway idea (a pearl) and we encourage you to post your pearl for others to see.
