Just Do It- With or Without the Blue Pill

{Viagra is blue, right? Just clearing that up as I wouldn't know.}

The closest thing to Viagra we have in our home is a pill called "Spring Up." It really freaked me out when I first saw it in the bathroom. I thought John was going through mid-life crisis. As it turns out, "Spring Up" is an antihistamine. Whew.

Anyway...my friend emailed me a "Dear Abby" letter she found in her local paper a couple weeks ago. It reads:

"Sex is expensive. My wife and I are 74 years old and have been married 55 years. We still do it at least three times a week. Admittedly, I need a little help. The problem is, the price of Viagra has gone up a lot over the years, and the monthly cost is very high, even when splitting a pill. How soon is it likely to become generic in the United States?"

The response was that it could be available in the next couple years, blah blah blah.

What is interesting to me is the value this couple clearly places on sexual intimacy. This letter reminds me that each of us can make sex a priority, no matter how old (or feeble?) we are.

You remember my friend Jennifer, right? The one who set a goal for sexual intimacy 5 out of 7 nights a week? Well, I didn't include this in the original post, but she told me that doing the challenge "requires planning, like turning off the TV and going to bed earlier than we used to." (She told me I could share this, by the way!)

She went on to say that it also requires prayer on her part to desire her husband even when exhausted. "In the end," she said, "it's always well worth it!" There's another example of making sex a priority.

So girls, what practical things do you do to make sexual intimacy a priority? Pray, plan, pills? Share your tips on what works for you so we all can benefit!
