Diane, you've given me such good advice in the past and I've taken it. You have so much wisdom and flare. I like your spunk!
I agree with Celt in that sex isn't the most important facet of a relationship but it sure is nice. My husband and I have the kind of relationship where I have "my spot" in the crook of his arm. I sleep with my head on his shoulder and when he misses me he says, "Your spot is waiting for you" and I know exactly what he means.

He loves it when I use "ET" to massage his back and shoulders. ET is a massager with big balls on the end that looks just like the alien, ET...we laugh about it and say, "ET phone home"...

We talk like hicks just for fun and cook huge pots of chili for our friends and have them all over.

If we never had sex again, I'd still be enthralled with him and he with me. I couldn't stand to be with someone who was boring and normal. I'd be out looking for something more exciting, I know me.

I've had OCD, thoughts that were so bad I had to do something else out of fear of carrying them out....checking the locks on the door and then getting two miles down the road and coming back to check them again.

I still have some of the tendencies, certain things have to be done in a certain way or it nags at me that I didn't do it right.

The song, Mr. Sandman, used to evoke something strong and fearful in me. I couldn't bear to hear it or even say the name.

To this day, I don't know why. But what I did to overcome my OCD was to locate and memorize every scripture of promise in God's Word to us and speak them one by one as I would lay in bed at night to sleep.

Eventually the positive and encouraging word changed my mind and heart from the inside out. I've been fine since then. Another, and more interesting thing I found out from my mom and grandma is that my family was deeply involved in Spiritism and the occult. They would lift tables and do seances and the like.

When I renounced those practices and surrendered my heart, mind and future to God, it all just went away and I've been pretty fine ever since. That's the honest to God truth!

I've had bouts of depression now and again and right now am on an anti-depressant, but mostly I'm happy and content and able to manage my life satisfactorily.
