Blake R. Templeton argues that scheduling intimacy doesn't work because attraction needs the emotional buildup of early dating. A husband has to lead with genuine affirmation and active pursuit, creating the right environment for passion to emerge naturally.
I see someone put like intimacy on their calendar. Like, what are you doing? You can't schedule passion, but as a man, you can create the environment for it. Attraction is responsive, not forced, not scheduled, but you can actually prepare your heart instead of waiting for the mood. Lead your wife intentionally with affirmation and pursuit and emotionally build up to that moment, just like you did in the very, very, very beginning.
