A Wife and Woman

When you hear or read the word ‘desire,’ what comes to mind? An uninterrupted night with your significant other? Or maybe it is not necessarily ‘desire in a relationship.’ It could be a need for a quiet, uninterrupted space for one. As a mother of four, I can vouch that alone time and privacy are currently a thing of the past. Some women’s desires may involve standing on center stage and capturing the world’s attention. A walk on the beach, with the warm sand softly massaging the bottom of one’s foot. For me, I desire human touch and physical connection. Particularly, a scalp massage or a foot rub. Let me clarify this does NOT mean sex. Sex is far from the top of my desire list, and my husband will agree 100%. Hence, the lack thereof is a major part of my blog.

A couple of months ago, I briefly wondered whether other women experience the same lack of desire in their relationship that I do. It’s doubtful that I’m the only wife, mother, and woman out there who feels overworked and exhausted. While I admit that raising children to be good people is rewarding, being a mother and wife is emotional and tiresome. The two worlds collide and affect my world as a woman. As a result, I decided to start sharing my experiences, some heavier than others as well as the obstacles I have overcome. Check out my blog, ‘Desire and Lack Thereof’ below, and feel free to share any of your triumphs or battles with me!
