The ‘lowering the expectations’ is pure genius and it works, not only for sexual intimacy but for all areas. Years ago I learned that when I pray for my hubby’s faults, my mind and heart tended to ‘micro’ focus on those very problems, to the point of blinding me to any of his good traits and accomplishments or growth. This also tended to minimize my own faults as well! Which made complete sense because the more you are praying for something … someone, the more you are thinking about them. Big mistake!

Now when I pray, I have two lists that I springboard from. His strengths and MY weaknesses and faults.

I leave his weaknesses between him and God.
