I have actually had to call my wife on this point, after several months, that if she didn't fulfill her end of the agreement, I may give into my lack of self control and go elsewhere.

IMO, women are overwhelmed with jobs, kids, homework, housework, dinner, etc. They need kindness, understanding, and help. I don't know your circumstances, but dating regularly while married can help to bring romance back to a woman.

I know I have needs (sexual) and she has needs (emotional), and I'm sure that I don't fulfil her needs and she doesn't always fulfill mine, but you need to keep working on it, and understand that most of the time we can not fulfill everything. But once in a while you have to or else we will find that fulfillment elsewhere.

If you ask me, women use that housework kids dinner I'm so tired excuse for not wanting intimacy far too often. I work, I get then kids ready for bed, I wake the kids up and get them ready for school, I do laundry, I do dishes, etc. and on top of that, I fix the cars, mow the land, do house repairs, and other traditional 'man' jobs without assuming that the wife should chip in, yet I still have energy to devote to the relationship.
