No, I don\u2019t mean \u201cdiscipline\u201d during sex. I\u2019m referring to discipline regarding sexual activity, comparable to how we may seek to discipline ourselves in regard to our eating and sleeping behaviors.\u00a0 It may seem strange\/incongruous even to consider sexuality\u00a0in terms of good habits, when we are accustomed to hearing so much about freedom and spontaneity. But particularly for any couple in a long-established relationship, good habits have their value. There is frequently a substantial decline in sexual activity that may mirror a decline in closeness and intimacy. This gets excused by saying \u201cThat\u2019s the way life is\u201d and \u201cWe\u2019re getting older.\u201d And of course, we do all get older. \u00a0Fran and I find a value in having a regular schedule, with flexibility as circumstances may generate, that is not too different from the traditional Wednesday\/Saturday schedule of some married couples (I will not go into specific details, sensibly). This works well to\u00a0insure\u00a0that we do not become like most married couples of our age (60\u2019s), who seem to have totally let sexuality lapse in their relationship and are thereby missing out on an important part of\u00a0 a relationship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
