Sex every day of the year
When her husband’s 40th birthday approached, Charla Muller wanted just the right gift.
It had to be fabulous, over the top, something so special “that my husband would never have to pause and say, ‘What did Charla give me for my 40th birthday?’”
Let us declare now that Muller, a Charlotte, N.C., wife, mother and public relations professional, succeeded on all counts. Her gift? Sex, every day, for a year.
Soon, the world will learn of Charla’s gift. Her book, 365 Nights: A Memoir of Intimacy
, co-written with Betsy Thorpe, (Amazon pre-order $11.20, List $14.00) hits bookstores in July.
In it, Muller tackles issues familiar to almost anyone in a marriage or long-term relationship: How does intimacy flourish in real, busy lives? How do you deal when one partner — usually the man — wants a lot more sex than the other?
Charla (pronounced sharla) and Brad Muller are, in many ways, a typical couple. They have a nice house, two kids, a strong marriage.
Like many couples, they’d found sex had taken a back seat to the crush of daily obligations — work, parenting, running a house. Or, as Charla says in the book, “Intimacy had ended up like that box of Girl Scout cookies in the back of the freezer, hidden behind the frozen pizzas.”
But she loved her husband a lot, she says, so she set out to rediscover intimacy.
