Babyproofing Your Marriage-Julia Kantor, LMFT Most women experience a big drop in sexual desire in the first few years post-baby from hormonal changes, sleep deprivation and feeling “touched out” from constant care giving. Combine this with a typical woman’s need for emotional connection to feel sexual while a man usually needs sex to feel connected, and the result is a loss of intimacy. Solution? Schedule quiet time to reconnect (not “date night” in crowded places) and say hello to planned spontaneity. Also, express what you need – some nights your partner could take over the bath and bedtime routine so you can reconnect with yourself, soak in a tub and get into an intimate state of mind. For more info, go to www.juliakantormft.com or call (310) 289-4459
