A few years back we were elated at the joy that exuded from a group of people who turned a typical wedding march into something special.
Here is a wedding proposal that will make you smile 
Recently I had the pleasure of hearing a talk by Esther Perel, the author of Mating in Captivity.
Her book is not only fascinating but in my opinion vital to any couple, not matter what stage they are in their relationship. Esther brought up some insightful advice about the issues that face couples on a day to day basis. Her examples and insight left me feeling empowered and more aware as I grow into my relationship with my partner. Esther points out that in this day in age we are looking for everything, sexual connection, friendship, intelligence, spontaneity, support, desire and of course love. But these requirements tend to fall short when expected from one person and are new requirements in our quest for love.
Esther points out that marriage used to be solely for security and making babies. Passion and intellectual fulfilment are new and in truth hard to obtain from one person. Previously society, church and friendships added to our quest for happiness, now we tend to expect that from one person and feel quite let down when we do not get “what we deserve” and question if we made the “wrong choice”. So instead of questioning our choices, let’s appreciate what we have and add back that passion that attracted us to them in the first place. She brought up the fact that what ties us as a couple, safety, commitment, security also has the opposite effect on our love life, repetitiveness is not sexy ”Sex is rooted in desire” and a quick survey of the room brought up the fact that we are most attracted to our partner when they are in their element, cooking their favorite meal, giving a presentation, talking about something they love. That’s sexy! Esther talked about “sex being a place we go not something we do” in order to recapture that we need to question not what our partner does not “do for us anymore” but instead ask these important questions to our partner and ourselves.
“I turn myself on when…”
“What does sex do for you?”
“what do I do to turn myself off”
You may be surprised at the answers!
In the end these questions are revealing that connections are vital not only to the couple but for the family in general. As Esther said, sex is vital to families”

I recently went to see the Ellen von Unwerth exhibit at the Staley Wise gallery in NY.
Ellen is known for her erotic art and fashion photography. Walking around the room her work brought to mind a sensual glamor and ora of femininity and power. I loved her body of work and obvious love of a woman’s form and figure, I found it inspiring. We rarely see woman photographed in a sexual manner by woman and the difference is apparent. A shot of a leg speaks more volume to me then what is largely uncovered today.
