1. You're too busy


Problem:
Between work, kids, the school run, catching up with friends and housework, sex probably sits at the bottom of your 'to do' list.

It's not like when you're younger or when you first get together and you have sex whenever you can get it. When you get a few spare minutes nowadays you're more likely to want to catch up with the soaps or get a little bit more sleep - not having sex!

Sex, though, is an important part of a relationship. It's a way of showing love to each other and a lack of it can turn some relationships into friendships.

Solution:
Choose a night or two a week to spend some quality time with your partner. You could even make a game of it and take turns to act out fantasies or try different positions. By planning ahead you're saying to your partner and yourself that you're committed to making the relationship work and that's sometimes the hardest part.
