Tough Love Couples

I've become a reality TV junkie for certain things.  I have my vices, including Project Runway, America's Best Dance Crew, America's Next Top Model, and Tough Love.  However, Tough Love came out with a new show:  Tough Love Couples.  LOVE IT!  It's a little like The Tool Academy but more practical.  And the most recent one was awesome:  sex life and trust.  


Eek!  Cover your ears - such a taboo word!  Sex!  Yes, I said it and I will happily say it again: SEX.  I will talk about it until I die, because it is just that important.  I don't mean you need to flaunt your sex life or be promiscuous.  In fact, far from it, but being comfortable enough to have an open sex life with your partner (b/f, g/f, husband, wife) is extremely important. Whether that means trying new things, introducing toys, listening to one another and putting the other first, reciprocating, etc, communication, trust, and confidence are key.  And that's what this episode of Tough Love Couples was trying to convey.  Why are certain areas of your relationship weak?  Is it a sex issue or is it a sex issue because of a self-confidence or partner trust issue?  More than likely if there are problems in your relationship or within you yourself (aka outside the bedroom) then there are probably problems in the bedroom as well, and in order for a relationship to be really healthy and nurturing to both parties, all areas of your relationship have to be working properly (no pun intended!)


Again, the thing I love about this show is its "in your face" reality and how it forces you to not only look at the couples on TV, but also yourself and your relationship.  And, of course, the topic of the day is always fun, and this particular week entertaining and interesting.  However, even more than that, I enjoy the reflective piece of the show.  If you haven't watched it yet, and you like these kinds of reality shows, you should definitely check it out.
