The early Romans revered Janus, the god with two faces—one facing forward, the other gazing behind. At the beginning of January, the month named to honor the Roman god, that image fits how most of us feel. Like Janus, we look back at the year gone by, while anticipating the 12 months ahead.

EmpowHer What do you think is normal sexual frequency for a monogamous couple?

www.empowher.com
With a small child, work, studying and being busy with other activities, I'd be happy to get at least two times a month. Though we've been together almost a decade... We simply don't have any chance more often.

I want Intimacy but that doesn't have to equate sex. I want to Connect with my spouse and be touched. That is so important. As an old married lady (24 yrs) I think I can say "tons of sex" is not the key to a lasting relationship...or perhaps it should not be. *winks*
The media does relationships a dis-service IMHO by placing sex as a strong basis of supposed healthy relationships..

I'll sculpt with clay and Tone my body in a Gentler fashion. This was semi-helpful...I'll work on a meal plan for sure but no jumping or high-impact for my battered body.

EmpowHer The EmpowHER Year in Review... what story did you find most interesting?

Or the moment when they learned that despite years of passionate and thoughtful education about mammograms, a federal panel was now recommending that women get them later, and less often?

Wasn't that a goof?! I'm glad I stuck to my 'yearly' one. What I had could only be found in a mammogram, and if I'd had to skip a year who know what it would have been?!
