Intimacy and work!

[Stringaling]

Are your sex lives affected much by your jobs?

 

[GutterRat]

Um.....yeah. If work is stressful - it's hard to not bring that home. I try very hard on my drive home to "put away" the stress. But it's tough. I've found the best way to get rid of stress is to play w/ my daughter. Usually end up playing dolls or something - but hey - it's a great time.

I voted: Yes-both work and are often tiredI'm good early in the week, but by time Friday rolls around =

 

[MoodyBlue]

We both work full time, in high stress jobs - the kind where you tend to take work home with you, and when you sleep you run through all the stuff you forgot to do or need to do. We are both so tired at the end of the day. So, any fun we have is usually reserved for weekends - TGIF!

 

[beehoney]

Yes, both work. Often tired, but the tiredness is not the problem. It think it's the schedule.

 

[ChildByGrace]

We both work and and are oten too tired. It's not the jobs that are stressful (especially not in my case) it's more the early mornings and then the church stuff we do during the week which means we are often late to bed

I can't answer the poll because I can't speak on behalf of my wife.

Personally, I have never found that my job takes away my desire for intimacy.

His job makes it difficult, and my classes make it impossible. He's living in barracks for at least another two weeks, I live an hour away, and I have a ton of homework. So basically we only see each other on the weekends.

Work moreso affects my husband with intimacy, if he's tired, stressed, ect.

 

[LegacyOfLove]

My hubby works full-time and I stay at home with our 4 children homeschooling. His job is pretty high-stress, so yes, it often affects the intimacy.

I work from 7:30am to 4pm and my husband works from 3:30pm til 2am. We don't even see each other until Friday nights and by that time after working and taking care of kids-- we're both exhausted.

It's interesting to see the results. So many of us lead extremely busy lives and work is affecting our sex lives. The only positive I can think of is that we'll all be ready and prepared to go to work with Jesus in Heaven ...since we won't be having sex in Heaven, right?

 

[Redguard]

...since we won't be having sex in Heaven, right?

Don't remind me.

I keep trying to convince myself that the level of happiness that we'll experience in Heaven will be similar to having a 24/7 perpetual [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse].

 

[JimfromOhio]

We both are often tired and our prescriptions are affecting our drives. However, we do noticed that when we cuddle in bed.... watching TV.... sometimes our hands gets us excited.

 

[Saint2be27]

No hanky panky in Heaven? lol I've never thought about that before.

Don't remind me.

Haha, I now have coffee sprayed on my monitor...thanks for that.

 

[firestar]

We're intimate regardless of how tired we are, with our hectic schedules, we'd never connect otherwise!

 

[vidasmom]

I find it best not to mix work with pleasure

LOL!! I'll stand with you at the pearly white gates while you ask Jesus that question. Knowing God, our lives in Heaven will be beyond our wildest dreams here on earth.
