101 Days
People form clubs for all sorts of things. One thing they can bond over is sexless marriages – for which people have been forming “100 Day Clubs,” for people in relationships who have gone 100 days without sex. One couple in Denver decided to turn this idea on its head, and make their own 100 day club – only theirs would revolve around having sex EVERY day for those hundred days.
The results have been spun into their own book: Just Do It, and the couple, Doug and Annie Brown are busy making the talk show circuits. They say their marriage was fine, it had just hit some rough spots, and gone through the normal “wear and tear.” After 11 years of marriage and two kids, they were in a bit of a rut, and having sex more out of rote then out of passion. They say money stresses contributed to these feelings of boredom, as they became stressed out with time off from work to have kids, moves, being away from family, buying a home, and trying to make ends meet in the midst of it.
But they didn’t believe this had to result in a weakened sex life, so they embarked on their 100 day journey to spice up their love life. I mention many solutions along these lines in my book, Financial Infidelity, as I touch on different ways to recover from and avoid the stress of money – or the lack of it – can put on a relationship.
