Making Love

What if we expanded the meaning of 'making love' to include all the loving behaviors that partners might do for each other? Like rubbing tired shoulders, fixing a surprise breakfast of homemade maple pecan waffles, helping with the holiday decorations, scraping the ice off a windshield, planning an overnight getaway...

If people thought more about how to 'make love' to their partners outside of the sexual realm, there would probably be a lot more lovemaking of the traditional variety. When couples don't take each other for granted and are able to maintain a caring relationship, then sex flows naturally as a celebration of that caring connection. Love can be as much about making the bed as making love in the bed.
