I have been happily married now for 23 years. And each year it gets even better. Why you ask? Constant communication and not being selfish. When it comes to communication it takes two: one who is willing to share feelings and thoughts openly and the other who is a thoughtful active listener. My husband and I have a great desire to make each other happy.

The most recent example of how we implement this is how he has told me for years that he loves seeing me naked, and not just before love making. Anytime makes him happy. Like if we are getting ready to go somewhere, he would love it if I got ready in my birthday suit. He thinks most men would love it if their wives did this. But us women are so self-conscience about our bodies that we rob our men of this joy. So we have to step out of our own selfish mind set and simply believe them when they say they love our body! This is what I have recently been doing for my husband. I mean if he's telling me something that will make him this happy and I don't do it, then that's just cruel.
