Better Sex, Better Relationships

So, being in a second marriage (both myself and my DH), we have children and "baggage" that we brought from our respective previous marriage.

With so much of the stress involved in blending the families and keeping the "sanity" in the home, it doesnt always make it easy for the romance and relationship between me and DH.

I am hoping to one day have an "ours" to add to the family and with all the stress and issues we have endured over the past 19 months of marriage and the prior 2 years of dating, he doesnt seem interested. Although the ideas of having a baby together was a HUGE deal breaker for me.

How do we as a newly married couple, in a blended family keep the romance alive with all the chaos of the exes, the kids and everything else we deal with. I want my DH to get back on board with me to wanting to have a child together. He keeps telling me "when the time is right" which to me seems like he is dangling that carrot to keep me on the hook. I am 35 and he is 41 - we are not getting any younger and my bio clock is ticking awfully loud these days.

I think this challenge is great and I hope over the next several weeks, my DH and I can rekindle the romance and get back on track.

I think we also get so caught up in "life" that we forget the little things. I would like to be able to incorporate some "little things" into the daily routine. Ideas would be most welcome.

Good news, we both work from home. Bad news, we both work from home. HAHA!!
