A couple have come up with a unique way of keeping the spark alive by creating an 'intimacy menu' where different courses contain different types of bedroom antics. Sheri Green, 54, and husband Derek, 55, who are both lifestyle and relationship coaches, came up with the idea in a bid to make sure they have sex at least three times a week on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
After the birth of their daughter Tori who is now 28, the pair admit they struggled with intimacy so the menu now helps them win that back.
It contains three courses, the traditional 'starters', 'mains' and 'desserts' and each course contains different intimate activities for the two to share so they can ensure that both are fully satisfied.
For starters on the menu, the pair can chose between a foot massage, a 10-minute sex session, or oral sex.
While for the main course, the pair could chose a full body massage or a shower followed by sex and for dessert, the option could include a session of role play.
Each course is designed to satisfy both parties and ensures that the couple who have been married over 30 years can keep the romance alive.
Sheri, from California, USA, explained "We started to feel rejected if one of us wanted intimacy but the other one didn't so we created the intimacy menu.
"We'll offer something off the menu, even if it's the promise of it being in four hours time.
"Derek often likes to watch action movies that I'm not into, so as a compromise he'll often massage my feet while we watch.
"Life is going to happen so you have to be prepared to take the relationship through everything that happens."
Derek commented: "Our menu is like a living breathing third person in the relationship. We're always changing it up and keeping it interesting and fresh."
Sheri added: "It's there to make sure neither of us feel neglected - even if one is not in the mood or tired, something else can be offered from the menu. I think when your sex life is good it's 10 percent of the reason that makes a relationship thrive.
"Life is busy so we always try to have sex on a Wednesday evening, and Saturday and Sunday morning.
"We're thinking of adding another day. But we make each other feel loved throughout every day. We communicate everything so we know each others wants and needs.
"A relationship ends when someone stops auditioning for the role."
