Who do you talk to the most in this world? I’d wager your spouse is pretty close to number one on that list. Despite that, we all find it difficult to discuss our problems with our partner. Whether it’s a problem we have at work, with our family, personally, or with the relationship itself. Talking about our problems is always a challenge.

Your spouse should be the first person you turn to when you need to get something off your chest, especially if they are the cause of the problem. Likewise, your partner needs to feel like they can talk to you about anything without the fear of you getting angry or judgmental.

Matched Dior gowns. Orchid covered archways. Spectacular mountain settings. Magicians. Balloon releases. Fireworks. Photo booths. Wii games. Free all-night bar. Casino games. Lobster bakes, island bike rides, "event" stations where you scan a QR code to receive a secret surprise, go cart centers, yard games, massages, a multi-day party on a remote Asian island.

What do they have in common? These are all wedding ideas being sold by wedding planners who will charge up to $30,000 for "a truly unforgettable $250,000 wedding." Brides are told to make it a party they will never forget.

Sexual dissatisfaction is one of the top reasons cited when a person leaves their marriage.  It is also one of this life’s most worthy challenges to take on—not only for the meaning and pleasure it can bring to our marriage, but also for the very real health benefits that a satisfying sex life bestows on our well-being.  I also believe that learning how to satisfy our sex drive and grow our comfort with our erotic selves is a window, which reveals our deepest humanity.

It is no surprise that a massive consumer market designed to offer  a quick fix for our sexual desires has ballooned into a billion dollar industry.
