The key isn’t chasing some impossible ideal of passion that never fades, but learning to appreciate love in all its evolving forms

The first thing a friend did when I told her the title of my book was laugh. “The Sex Lives of Married Women?” She asked. “You mean The No Sex Lives of Married Women.”

I laughed too. She wasn’t wrong – married people aren’t exactly known for their thriving sex lives. And I suspect the only couples reliably having sex must be the ones who have scheduled it into their Google calendars, probably in a shared folder alongside “Bunnings trip” and “remortgage review”.
