Does this sound familiar? It’s a Saturday night. You’ve had a wonderful day with your husband running errands, going out to eat and seeing a show. When you get home, you’re exhausted! It’s time for bed, but there’s just one problem – your husband wants to be intimate before you go to sleep.

Did you know than 40 million Americans are stuck in a low sex or no sex relationship? Do you ever feel that you and your partner need to revive the romance in your relationship?
Sally writes: I have been married for a few years and still have difficulty dealing with my In-laws. My mother in law is extremely overbearing and controlling and my father in law agrees and goes along with whatever she wants. My husband and I are constantly fighting over this and he just doesn’t understand. Since my parents live in another city, I have to go with my children to my in-laws for almost every holiday. Any relationship advice you can offer on how to cope and deal with this issue as it wears on my relationship with my husband?
