its a little bit personal..

Intimacy is a very important part of a relationship, a kiss to say i love you, a hug to say i care, a wink to say lets go and some sex, well thats sometimes an effort isn't it.
It seems like sex has to be put on a calendar these days to remind myself its probably time to make an effort  for my husbands chance at sanity.  After realising recently i am not as adventurous as i used to be, it made me sad to think how easily things can get awkward if you don't keep up your intimacy in a relationship.  I needed to scratch my nose the whole time, my back and hips were hurting and my husbands knees were cracking and creaking like two old people trying to release their young spirits again.  Im 24 year old and i feel like i should be thinking about a walking frame and hand rails in the bathroom.  
My husband recently had a shoulder reconstruction and i found out the other day i need to go in for hip surgery in the very near future.  I feel like my young spirit is slowly being drowned by the heavy weight of life and its disappointments, struggles and curve balls.  At the ripe young age of 24 i should be able to have sex doing cartwheels and back it up with a game of tennis.
Im so young and there is so much future ahead of me and so many achievements still to be had.  I feel like my body and sometimes my mind lets me down and gets the better of me.  Perhaps my husband may have to think up some sex position for a walking frame or one of those beds that changed position by the push of a button.  What ever is may be, intimacy should always be important to feel the love between two souls, it ignites the flame and should make you both set your house on fire with all the heat you should be making.  OK so maybe thats a bit extreme, it doesn't have to be sex, but a kiss and a cuddle can show more love then the words 'i love you'.
PS.  Creaking bones, 25 or 50, sex or no sex, i LOVE my husband <3 oh and guess what... i can get a purple walking frame, watch out grannys!!
