|
| I'm not a Halloween fan, but I don't care. | |
| People enjoy it. | |
| Let them enjoy themselves. | |
| But I think they're good things. | |
| I think that romance is a good thing. | |
| I think expressions of romantic love are good things. | |
| What could be bad about it, right? | |
| And I mean it. | |
| So, there are two studies. | |
| I mean, probably 400, but there were two that I, the one that I saw, which is what engendered this topic. | |
| This was in the Daily Mail. | |
| Big headline. | |
| Relationship expert busts the biggest myths about romance. | |
| And one of, so they, in the Daily Mail, which is in England, it's a very interesting website. | |
| And they have bullet points. | |
| And one of the bullet points is, men prefer sex to gifts, while women care more about thought than extravagance. | |
| Perth, I guess Australia, Perth dating coach Luann Ward clarified common misconceptions. | |
| And this was one of them. | |
| 90%. | |
| A resounding 90% of men surveyed by illicit encounters said sex was their number one wish for Valentine's Day. | |
| That's a very good point from the Triple G and any other day. | |
| And in a leap year, that adds a day. | |
| Just for the record. | |
| Now, let me make something clear. | |
| I know this. | |
| I'm going to get emails where the relationship is inverted. | |
| Where the woman wants it more than the man does. | |

Why Love Includes Intimacy

|
|
| And I know that happens. | |
| And life is filled with frustration. | |
| But I'm talking about the normal problem. | |
| And if it's a problem at all. | |
| But it's... | |
| It's a significant thing. | |
| And I must admit, this has been somewhat of a puzzle to me. | |
| If you love your husband, and that's a big if, and that'll give you more ifs. | |
| If you love your husband, and he's a good man, those are the two ifs, okay? | |
| The two big ifs. | |
| Why wouldn't you have sex with him? | |
| Perhaps more often. | |
| And I'm not pushing for daily. | |
| But when I get emails, I got an email this week from a man who loves his wife. | |
| I mean, he wrote, he was emphatic. | |
| I love her. | |
| She's a great mother. | |
| She's a great wife, even. | |
| But we haven't had sex in five years. | |
| So he asked me for advice. | |
| By the way, advice is spelled with a C, not an S. S is advise. | |
| C is advice. | |
| There's another word. | |
| That's another word that's commonly misspelled, as is lose. | |
| It's amazing how many people spell lose. | |
| L-O-O-S-E. It can only be a function of people not reading. | |
| But anyway, I get those. | |
| By the way, he says advice. | |
| And my heart goes out to this guy, but I said, you know the answer. | |
| Here are your choices. | |
| Make peace with it. | |
| Improve the situation. | |
| Or divorce. | |
| I mean, he knows. | |
| There's no such thing as it. | |
| What am I going to give advice? | |
| I'd like to give her advice. | |
| I wish I could speak to her. | |
| You know, I rather speak to the wife of that man who wrote me that than I would any person in the world. | |
| Any president, any prime minister. | |
| Do you know that? | |
| And you know I'm telling the truth. | |
| Because I have very little interest in famous people. | |
| Even as a kid, they didn't interest me. | |
| I always prefer to be with friends for dinner. | |
| I still do. | |
| But I mean it. | |
| Maybe this man is listening. | |
| Sir, I would rather talk to your wife in private so that she doesn't have you around for where tension might arise than anyone that I could think of in the world. | |
| How's that? | |
| Because I would love to know what, given the importance to your husband, whom you Do you love him? | |
| I assume she'd say yes. | |
| Do you feel he's a good man? | |
| I think she'd say yes. | |
| So what would she say? | |
| Maybe you could help me. | |
| Do you know what this woman might say if she loves him and he's a good man? | |
| Don't call up and tell me, well, you know, of course she's angry at him. | |
| If she's angry at him, then okay. | |
| So then she doesn't think he's a good man. | |
| Are you angry at a good man? | |

|
| Or at least... | |
| Would you acknowledge that you're angry at a good man? | |
| So Valentine's Day is coming up. | |
| So this is the study, the Daily Mail, from this Australian advisor to couples. | |
| And she said 90% of the men would prefer, for Valentine's Day, sex over a gift. | |
