The myth, that as soon as a man and woman marry, intimacy slows down...there's probably alot

reasons for that.  These days, gender confusion - and a whole lot of mistrust.  But men and women have never really gotten along that well, Bible says, we're all sinners.  These days, while husbands want to be served their sodas by their wives - wearing a little black dress and high heels, after working at the office all day, wifey is tired; she has supper to throw together and housework to do.  Any wonder, she throws off her office duds, and puts on a comfy tee shirt, sweat pants and a pair of flat fuzzy slippers. 

Back in the 50s, when wives were home all day, couples had a different barrier to intimacy.  Back then, there was no birth control - other than those moment-swiping rain coats.  And contrary to what we moderns may assume, marrieds in the 1950s weren't stupid.  Back then, money was tight (food and clothing alot more expensive then, than today), and another baby???  

So, it stands to reason, young wives sought the council of their mothers and aunts - who had done the same, when they were blushing brides.  Many women back then, for whatever reasons, didn't make it to 12th grade, but they likely knew - per the older women - during the few days, mid cycle to take a cold bath, and put on frumpy clothes.  

Tell me, husbands were out of the loop on this primitive form of birth control.
