I Want to thank all of the contributors here (this site saved my sanity). I started my journey with MMSLP 2011, which is a great book but it didn't help me as much as this site has. I've read all the theories and implemented as much as I could up until this point. I'm leaps and bounds ahead of where I was a year ago but it's still in its infancy.

I've put on a lot of muscle and am getting really good at Agree and Amplify, and these two things alone have done wonders in and outside of the home. I need to work on Amused Mastery though (I don't have a solid enough idea of what it even is and how/when to apply it). I'm only getting laid twice per month but I'm chalking it up to the fact that my wife's father is in a nursing home with Alzheimer's and near the end. I imagine it's hard to get horny when everyday consists of thoughts about your dying parent. I know this, and I'm trying to be her emotional rock and keep a good vibe around the house but my cock doesn't understand and he's trying to sabotage my progress.

The reason I'm writing today is just to introduce myself, and to make a contribution; it's very easy for covert contracts to go unrecognized and they can fester into a real motherfucker. I've been trying something different which seems to work that is like to share. And that is when I first recognize that my wife didn't do something that I wish she had (clean the house, make dinner, fuck me, etc.) instead of just stewing on it and let it build into a blow-up moment, I tell her that she's got a hot ass and then I go do something that needs to be done (lift,read, fix something, play with my kids, etc). This has been helping to keep me in a better mindset and keep her in a better mood. I know, it's not a new theory but it's solid gold so if you're not doing it now you should give it a shot. My being in a better mood keeps my wife in a better mood = more sex
