Hungry for Each Other

                                                                

                                           
                                      

I've said it before and I'll say it again... One of the most important things a couple can do is make time for each other.  Life is busy and difficult enough as it is, but once we step past the threshold of our homes, life doesn't stop.  I'm tired often, sometimes very tired, but I know that I still have expectations to meet as the HoH of this family.  I make an effort to meet the challenges and needs of my family.  The boys have homework that needs to be done,  and as much as I love the boys, I'm going to be very honest... they are a load, June needs some time for herself.. As much as I'd love to go grab a beer and sit down to Sports Center, I know that it benefits our relationship when I ensure that she gets some time to reset, relax and do some things she wants to do, but it's more than that too.  Meeting the challenges of a TTWD/DD relationship has many benefits and when we meet these challenges it keeps us hungry for each other. 


To me, being hungry means craving her in all ways.  I crave the sharpness of her mind (June is a smart cookie). She'll say she is just herself but she is much more creative and intelligent than she gives herself credit for. Her intelligence and her opinions often mirror my own and  I find the sharpness of her mind alluring. I crave her body,  She brings me much comfort and delight at the end of long days. Her warm, waiting embrace and pleasurable form bring me much pleasure and delight. I crave her spirit. Her warmth and her kindness inspire me often... I know I may be biased folks, but in truth June is the finest woman that I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Her dedication and vigilance to what we have and how we can learn from our mistakes and the wisdom of folks here touches me and make me want her close to me.


                                                                                                  
                                                       



 I'm pretty sure that not many of you would be surprised if I told you that I am a bit of a romantic. I think it's important to be available to one's partner mentally and physically.  Sometimes it's as simple as her saying "Honey I've had a hard day and I need to relieve some stress" or sometimes it's the fact that she knows me well enough to see what I need... Sometimes she crawls over my knee, sometimes she knows that what I need is much simpler, she knows her man's desire and just how to best satisfy it.


                                                          

 Staying hungry for each other is important part of  TTWD/DD or really any relationship.  The effort and time that both partners put into truly giving each other their best, becomes a vital skill that pays dividends in both the long and short term. 

-  A deeper attentiveness
-  A deeper appreciation for the things we do for each other
-  An insanely high libido increase
-  A warmth that  spreads throughout our home
-  A understanding of each other that is deeper for each other
-  A deep desire to only improve, even through setbacks or disagreements, a true hunger for each other.


                                                  



Finding time or making time for each other remains a priority, even with the kids, school, work and making ends meet, we continue to find ways to show each other how important we are.  We highly recommend exploring your options and finding ways to show each other how you feel and what emotions and passion that you evoke in each other.  Send the kids to grandma's, Check out that Bed and Breakfast, plan a romantic weekend away. The time we give our partners is precious. Give each other your best!




                                                      



Her POV:

Ward is a very effective leader, both in his work life and his home life. He is caring, compassionate, intuitive, firm and consistent. When he shares the things he does, it is not someone just hypothesizing, he shares what works for us because he walks his talk. This is a most amazing thing for me... I've never had anyone who did that before.This is intimacy...intimacy is not a quick tumble in the blankets, intimacy begins in the mind and in the heart.

Which brings to mind another thought...and old thought....one of June's favorite thoughts....redundant much?  Reciprocity! (Oh, stop that groaning!) I have said over the last few posts, that I enjoy serving Ward, and I enjoy doing things for him with a full, loving and submissive heart. It can make the simplest of acts an act of love and submission.It can make the larger acts of submission a prayer.

Where is the reciprocity? He serves me as well. When he sees me take a deep breath and close my eyes because I have listened to my 7,463rd whine of the day, and he steps in and handles it, or takes the task from my hand and tells me to go take a break, or he tells me to sit so he can do the dishes, or pulls the laundry basket between us and starts folding, or senses my sense of agitation and takes my hand and leads me to our room and closes the door and pulls me across his lap....when he texts me an instruction because he knows I revel in his Dominance, he is taking the time to show that he knows- feels- sees- acknowledges and cares about all the things that affect me. He is quick to kiss a - but you had a hard day, too - protest straight off my lips (YUMMY), pat me on the butt and send me off so that I can be my best for him and for us. 

Am I hungry for him? All the bloody time. I long for the curve of his jaw, his stubble, his scent, his touch, his laugh, his voice, his humor, his patience in the hours he is absent. I crave it. My heart squeezes when he sighs and rolls out of the bed for work, and it never really stops till he walks back in the door. He is my first thought in the morning, my last thought at night, he fills my dreams, he fills my heart. And what we create...it feeds him, it feeds me, it feeds our children and shows them that life can be extraordinary.

    1. Glad you like it sunnygirl...it took forever to figure out how to do it. I tried a while back & ruched up the blog terribly, so badly that I'm still finding stuff that needs fixed, lol. This was relatively painless, once I figured out the right way.

    1. A humble thank you, HisLilAngel, for such a lovely compliment. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me personally. (Our children are an awesome gift, but they are God's gift of potential to the world, and only ours to share for a while).

  12. This is so true, sometimes its very difficult to find time but it should be made, we make a point of once a week, having a set 'talk' time it has to be something very important for it to be missed, it just gives us that opportunity to 'catch-up' when times are hectic.

    With both of us working, 2 school age children it sometimes feels like we are ships that pass in the night so its vital to make time to connect.

    1. I know, tori. Sometimes I get so very frustrated. Ward is excellent at sending the boys to bed, just shutting everything down and making sure we have that time to reconnect and feel each other, and go to bed stress free.

  13. Im so happy for both of you. True Love and devotion is amazing and I wish so many more in the world would have this gift in there lives. All our friends are divorced at least once, my best friend 3 times. I think I should send her to your blog to read how happy people can be. June I know that feeling when he leaves at 4 am and doesnt come back till 6 pm. When he walks back in that door its like it was 25 years ago he still catches my breath and makes my heart melt. Hugs

    1. Oh, Annie, I know what you mean. I haven't lost my butterflies, they have multiplied, and they kick up as soon as I hear his tires on the drive. When his key turns in the lock, I'm almost a projectile, lol. He gives me the gift of depth and vibrancy. He is most amazing :) I'm glad your butterflies are thriving, too!

    1. It is easy to keep procrastinating on making time for each other..that's how it always went before Ward. With Ward, it is an imperative, if we don't get that time, I get ... out of sorts. It makes such a difference in our ability to deal with daily stresses when we do this. I wish you a crazy happy and connected week, Susie :)
