>FOR EXAMPLE: One evening last week, my wife and I were getting into bed.
>The

>just want you to hold me."
>
>I said "WHAT??!! What was that?!" So she says the words that every

>on the planet dreads to hear.. "You're just not in touch with my

>She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for
>whom
>I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?"

>Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to

>The very next d ay I opted to take the day off of work to spend time
