Blake R. Templeton argues that scheduling intimacy doesn't work because attraction can't be forced onto a calendar. Instead, men should deliberately build emotional connection through consistent affirmation and active pursuit, recreating the early-relationship energy rather than waiting for spontaneous desire.
I see someone put like intimacy on their calendar. 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.
