The First Bi-Annual 101 Day Sex Challenge™ ended Monday, January 25th.  I’m still pretty much speechless in regard to how rewarding and beneficial this time has been, not only for the five couples that made it through the event, but for myself as well.  I’ve learned that no matter how far gone a relationship seems, if there is love left at all, you CAN work through anything to make it back to each other.

These couples have a fresh start with each other, they are happier, their families are happier and healthier as well.  Before I announce the winners, I’d like to share with you what these couples have had to say about their experience.  Please keep in mind while you are reading, some of these couples were on the verge of divorce, dealing with affairs, and various other critical points in their lives.  You’ll see the significance of this as you read through their experiences:

“Well i could go on forever, our relationship is totally different.. we miss each other if we are apart, we enjoy each others company, we are closer then we have been in years, we are all around a much happier family even with the children.  We are now like a new relationship like new boyfriend and girlfriend lol sounds so silly but we laugh at each other , smile all the time i even get butterflys when i see him.”  What amazed this couple the most is “How something soooooooooooooo simple ie just making time for each other has made us so different and so happy.”

“We decided to take the challenge in hopes of saving our marriage, trying to understand each others feelings and to rekindle what brought us together in the first place.  We also did it to learn to look for errors in ways that caused our marriage harm in the first place.  Taking the challenge did strengthen our marriage and relationship.  Also by taking the challenge we have even made many new friends which was an awesome experience some of us even talked, laughed, had lunch, cried together, and even was just there to listen to each other which was a great support system from this group we had a place to go vent and be heard and not judged.
The benefits from the challenge have been we have grown more mature to respect each other, more intimate, we make more time for each other, most of all our communication is much better.”

“What we have learned throughout this challenge we will carry most definitely with us the rest of our lives  We spend more time learning to play with each other more affectionately so that it leaves less time for negative thinking or room for the other persons mind to get wondering.  By the way the sex is GREAT!”

“Our challenges were many, gaining the trust again from my wife, her forgiveness, regaining the tenderness and love from the beginning of our relationship.   We did rebuild a lot of the lines of communication but the screw up has reared her head and it does seem some of that road has been potholed.  Our relationship has gotten stronger and we do seem to be happier.  We have learned a lot about each other both physically and emotionally.  We have grown sexually and lovingly closer; we have learned how to love each other again and I have learned exactly what we have.”

“You have to take a minute to think about what brought you together and what was lost.  The Challenge brought back those things, but in a deeper, richer way than when we had first come together.  We’ve both grown over the years, as individuals and as part of a marriage, so coming so much closer together now has a quality about it that wasn’t there before, making it even better. Maybe true romance novels should start later in the “Happily Ever After” mark!  The teasing, flirting, just working on having fun together is some of the best parts.  When they say “life partner” it means all of our life, the best parts too, not just the daily grind parts and that is one point that really hit home during this challenge.”

• Our communication has improved tremendously!
• I’ve lost eight pounds without even trying to lose weight!
• I feel closer to him than I ever have!
• My level of stress and anxiety has been reduced and I just feel more calm!
• Our kids are even getting along better and even respect us more!
• Our kids are getting straight A’s in school!
• Neither one of us is afraid to ask for sex no matter what time of the month it is!
• I sleep peacefully at night and am no longer restless!
• We talk all the time about anything and everything!
• We share cooking and cleaning duties better than ever!
• The romance is back!  I get unexpected flowers, candy and date nights!
• The intimacy is back!  I especially love just touching and exploring his whole body!  No topics are off limits either!
• I’ve learned more about what stimulation he likes.  And I thought I knew him so well before!
• We’ve developed a whole new understanding of what both of our needs are and how to meet those needs as well as respect!
• We’re no longer just comfortable with each other.  We have an undying hunger for each other now and can’t keep our hands off each other!

I am grateful to these couples for their honest and open sharing with us.  I think it offers hope for so many other couples.  All of these couples are winners.  The grand prize and first prize was chosen randomly among you as there was just no other way to judge the accomplishments you’ve all made.
