I hope youve seen it, felt it, experienced it at least oncethat sparkle in your mans eye; that wide, full-toothed bemused grin from ear to ear; that strong arm reaching out to hold you; that hot breath on your neck begging you to come nearer, nearer, nearer; that kiss on the nape of your neck followed by the whisper, I want youI need youI love youI desire you.
Deep down we women have the desire to be desired, but often we shun the idea of becoming women who are desirable . After all, that might require some changes on our part. To become the beloved, we might have to be loving . Allure is a word we often see used in reference to the pursuit or early days of a romantic relationship. To achieve the preferred status of being appealing, we have to work on not being annoying, agitating, or aggravating.
Through this book, were going to explore 26 traits (A to Z) that will help make us desirable, alluring, and sought-after wives. To glean these traits, Bill and I took statements we heard from husbands and studied them to discern the most common hurts, disappointments, and pains of mens hearts. Then we explored how romancing husbands might help things from the wivess side of the equation. (Please check out our website www.Love-Wise.com for a list of the most common frustrations husbands voice and helpful information on marriage and romance in marriage.) We turned those grievances inside out to find the romantic qualities wives could use to fan the flames on the embers of love.
Well explore the qualities men find attractive in women. The best way to fan the flames on love is to become the irresistible women of our mens dreams!
Bill and I want to be totally upfront with you. We hold a natural view of sexual enhancement and education. We believe that love, sex, and intimacy were pretty amazing when God created them back in the time of the Garden of Eden. This means we wont be encouraging you to buy a suitcase full of sexual toys, expensive enhancement tools, or employ anything that might violate the precious secret-and-sacred space of your marital bed. We also wont be including a discussion on birth control. (We have an exhaustive discussion of that in our book The First Five Years .)
The focus of Red-Hot Romance Tips for Women is to help you build your originality and ingenuity into your marriage. There will be plenty of red-hot ideas shared, but they are meant to be sparks to ignite your imagination. We believe the most erotic spot in your body is your mind. At the core, red-hot romance is not a list of ideas. It is all about relationship!
Weve designed this journey to sizzling romance to be simple to follow. There are just 26 entries arranged alphabetically. If you read and apply one each day, in 26 days you could become a new woman: more loving, caring, compassionate, and sexy. You can also space out the application to one a week so that over the course of approximately six months youll have 26 romantic encounters. We recommend the compressed, 26-days-in-a-row model because it provides several perks:
Focus All your time, energy, and thoughts will be aimed at one goal: becoming more desirable.
Freedom You will like the woman you are becoming: sexy, sought-after, alluring.
Fine-tuning Your essence, your character, your inner heart, and your being will be impacted. Youll becomewell, nicer. This book will help sand off any rough edges .
It Is Worth It!
There is no downside to becoming a more alluring woman. As you become more desirable, it does raise the possibility, the chance, the likelihood that your husband will notice the difference and want to spend more timeeven more romantic or sexual timewith you. However, in the remote chance that he doesnt respond the way you hope or expect, keep putting your energy into this process. You will like the more confident, skilled, and affectionate woman you will become. Everyone in your life will benefit.
KISS It!
Take a moment to write a few goals for what you hope will be the result of the time well spend together developing your red-hot romance skills. A strong goal for love should include a KISS:
K nowledgeable You might have to get out of your comfort zone and do some research and reconnaissance to find the best answers for your situation. Weve tried to provide a solid launching pad for your exploration and investigation. What one question do you hope gets answered?
