The difference

They have it all the wrong way around. Falling in love requires you to bare your soul to the other first. Not baring your body.

Baring my body worked for me and my husband but it helps that neither of us was looking for love.

More important than what you bare--whether your body or your soul--is knowing what it is you want, being honest with yourself, and being honest with the other person. If you are not honest about what you want out of a relationship, either because you don't know what you really want or you think the other person doesn't want to hear the truth, then you've set the relationship up for failure.

Sex isn't the problem. Honesty is. When someone gives sex because they want love, that's a lie. If someone says they are not looking for a serious relationship but they are looking for love, that is a lie.

Be honest. First with yourself. Then with the other person. The rest will fall into place.

And after 13+ years together and 3+ years of marriage, we're finally going on our honeymoon in September. Woohoo!
