I work myself into a tizzy trying to regain my six-pack abs from before kids, but he likes the softer, curvier stomach I am sporting now. He tells me all the time, but I am not sure I believe him. After reading this article, though, maybe I do.

Marriage is about more than two hard bodies who are sexually attracted to one another. It's about love and commitment and hot, hot, deeply connected sex. If he can love my "wobbly bits," maybe I can learn to as well. And then we can go even deeper into our relationship and sex life.
